I have a sound file I'd like to use as a permanant part of an avatar I created. Are there any scripts out there that allow me to attach this sound to a part of the avatar and always have it on?... if so..... can you lead me to that script?

Also.... the sound I have for some reason wont upload to SL. Is there any software that will configur the sound wave to fit SL standards and if so where can I get it?

Thank you.

Probably, but the appropriate place to ask for scripts is the "Products Wanted" forum. This one is for learning how to do it yourself. :)

My favourite: http://audacity.sourceforge.net

The sound has to be sampled at 44100, mono.

My apologies for asking in the wrong area. I figured as it's a script question for something I want to make myself I'd ask it here.

Thanks for the URL... checking it out now ;-)

The program worked GREAT!

Now I need a script to loop it.

Thanks again :-)

llLoopSound(sound,volume); is your friend.

Also, permanent sound will get annoying. Even if it is meant to be a part of an avatar.

At least provide an option to turn it off.

windows users can use the included sndrec32.exe to convert audio formats for SL, Start Menu --> Programs --> Accessories --> Entertainment --> Sound Recorder

drag & drop your sound onto the app and then file --> properties --> convert now...

choose format: pcm, attributes: 44.110 khz, 16bit, mono (I think stereo is acceptable, but IIRC SL will change it to mono)

also note sounds attached to an av will sound louder to you than others unless they have sound set to be heard from camera position (in which case it'll sound louder as they zoom in, otherwise as they get closer)
