Overview
The DOE: Sound Extension brings sound to Fantasy Grounds in the form of SoundLinks. SoundLinks can be manually selected and triggered by the GM or they can be automatically triggered when certain events occur via the DOE: Sound Autosound feature and/or the Chatsound feature.
SoundLinks are accessed via the DOE: Sound Sound Board and GM-created MiniBoards, lists of SoundLinks able to be manipulated almost the same as any other Fantasy Grounds list of links.
Most of the other DOE Extensions incorporate the inclusion of SoundLinks seamlessly and Sound Links can also be used in Story and Notes Entries via the use of MiniBoards which can be linked via the Link Paragraph Type. MiniBoards can even be placed on Maps and Images as Map Pins. Basically, almost anywhere where you can use a Link in Fantasy Grounds you can use a MiniBoard.
GM's can share MiniBoards with Players and can also create Chatsound Triggers which will automatically play Sounds whenever a give sequence of characters is sent from one computer to another to appear in the Fantasy Ground's Chatbox.
SmiteWorks and Community Developers can incorporate extra Autosound Triggers into Rulesets and Extension with only a few lines of code, without having to worry about whether the DOE: Sound Extension will be loaded or not: if the Extension is not loaded the Autosound Triggers will simply be ignored by default in all existing Rulesets and Extensions

Downloading The Extension
This Extension and its accompanying Documentation can be downloaded from the links at the bottom of this post.
Loading The Extension
This Extension is loaded exactly like all other Fantasy Grounds Extensions - by first copying the .ext file to the Extensions Folder under the Fantasy Grounds Folder and then re-starting Fantasy Grounds. If the Extension is compatible with the currently installed version of a given Ruleset it will be displayed in the Extensions List for that Ruleset and can be loaded by clicking on the Checkbox next to the Extensions name.
If the Extension has large red 'X' next to its name in the Extension List then the Extension or an Extension that this one is dependent upon is not compatible with the chosen Ruleset. Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the latest copy of this Extension and any Extensions this one is dependent upon.
When Fantasy Grounds Updates
After a Fantasy Grounds version update you should verify that all Extensions (not just this one) have been either updated themselves or verified by the Extension author that they work with the new version of Fantasy Grounds. If you have any issues with Fantasy Grounds after an update then it is best to disable all Extensions and then re-enable them one by one until the issue re-appears.
