Hello Group and Happy Easter, FYI with OSX, within Xastir menu, in File->Configure->Audio Alarms, replace Play by afplay to get sounds (as long as wav files are present in Sounds folder). By the way, OSX is having an embedded text-to-speech, does there is a way to tel Xastir to use « Say » instead of « festival »? 73 de Cyril - DF1CHB/AM - F1MHV/M
