To set up a sound when your PC goes into hibernate/sleep and when it wakes up, you can follow these steps:

Setting a Sound for Sleep/Hibernate:​

1. Access Sound Settings:
   • Right-click on the speaker icon in the bottom right corner of the taskbar.
   • Select "Sounds" from the menu that appears.
   []Choose Event Sounds:
   • In the Sound window, go to the "Sounds" tab.
   • Scroll down and locate the "Windows Logon" option.
   []Assign Sounds:
   • Look for "Start Windows" and "Windows Logoff" events.
   • Choose a sound scheme that includes a sound for these events (e.g., "Windows Default").
   • Set the sound for "Start Windows" as the sound you want when your PC goes to sleep/hibernate.

     Setting a Sound for Wake Up:​

   []Use Task Scheduler:
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type taskschd.msc and press Enter to open Task Scheduler.
   []Create a New Task:
   • Click on "Create Basic Task" under the Actions panel on the right.
   • Follow the wizard to create a task that runs a program/script.
   []Set Triggers:
   • Choose a trigger for when you want the sound to play (e.g., when your PC wakes up from sleep).
   • Configure additional settings and save the task.
   []Assign Sound Action:
   • In the Actions tab of the task, add an action to "Start a program."
   • Set the program to play the sound you want. You can use sndrec32.exe for built-in sounds or a custom script or program to play a specific sound file. These steps should allow you to set up sounds for when your PC goes into hibernate/sleep and when it wakes up. Remember to test the settings to ensure they work as expected.
