Also: automated content check system is the worst. Having to quote posts just to read them is UNSETTLING.

If you wish to change the sound for achievement & notification seeing they both use it you need to make your own sound, or find one you like online, and make sure you name the extension .wav, and rename it same as desktop_toast_default.wav that it.

And the file goes here.
Steam > steamui > sounds

Make sure rename the original so don't replace it, and if ever wanna use it again without having to redownload it.

-edit-

Seeing after restart on Steam, it seem there a file check on this, and redownloads the original, and replaces the one you make, so seem setting "sounds" folder to read only doesn't work either eithout it going out of way to label all your files .old and placing new ones.

Does it save after restart or does it revert like it used to?

Gonna correct post above, seem like can just use mp3 just fine testing this myself see what limits right now, just played a song over 2 mins hearing Charlie the Unicorn 4-The Millipede Song lmao.

-edit-
Bad news it reverts it, so it stays until you restart Steam.

I figured it would.

Ever since the Chat UI update in 2018, when you could no longer add custom sounds to the chat notification and achievements I was hoping they'd let us again this time.

Only thing I can think of is an autoscript to replace said file, or someone to figure out how to disable file check for said file.

If Steam isn't going to let us do our own custom sounds, they should at least offer sounds on the Steam Points Store

borc used NECRO!
It's super effective!
Pipe got confused!

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
