Configuring and controlling wagering game audio

One or more machine-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a set of one or more processors causes the set of one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• presenting a custom sound design interface;
• receiving user input from a casino attendant via the custom sound design interface, wherein the user input is to design a custom sound including presentation instructions for the custom sound;
• storing the custom sound in a custom sound source;
• determining an occurrence of an application event for an application that runs in association with a wagering game machine;
• accessing the custom sound source, wherein the custom sound source includes customized sounds presentable along with a soundtrack for the application, during a wagering game session on the wagering game machine;
• determining that the custom sound, from the custom sound source, relates to the application event;
• determining the presentation instructions for the custom sound;
• determining an application sound on the soundtrack for the application event;
• determining sound-track presentation instructions associated with the application sound;
• determining presentation parameters indicated in the soundtrack presentation instructions that specifically relate to the presentation of the application sound during the application event;
• incorporating the presentation parameters with the presentation instructions for the custom sound;
• and
• presenting the custom sound according to the presentation instructions for the custom sound during the application event.

A system comprising:

• a content controller configured to
• provide wagering game content for a wagering game application, wherein the wagering game content includes audio content for the wagering game application, and
• provide an application event related to the wagering game content;
• and
• a custom sound manager configured to
• present a custom sound design interface,
• receive user input from a casino attendant via the custom sound design interface, wherein the user input is to design a custom sound file including presentation instructions for the custom sound file,
• store the custom sound file in a custom sound set,
• determine an application-defined event type associated with the application event,
• determine a custom-defined event type that corresponds to the application-defined event type,
• determine that the at least one custom sound file, from the custom sound set, corresponds the custom-defined event type,
• determine at least one presentation instruction for the custom sound file, from the presentation instructions for the custom sound file, that corresponds with the custom-defined event type, and
• control the audio content from the wagering game content using the at least one custom sound file and the at least one presentation instruction for the custom sound file.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a template configuration controller configured to, via the processor,
• generate a custom sound template configured to provide custom sounds to present in association with a wagering game machine in response to wagering game application events,
• associate a first themed custom sound set with custom sound presentation instructions on the custom sound template, wherein the first themed custom sound set includes first custom sound files of a first theme, wherein one or more of the first custom sound files are linked with one or more of the custom sound presentation instructions according to a first configuration setting,
• determine a request to swap the first themed custom sound set with a second themed custom sound set, wherein the second themed custom sound set includes second custom sound files of a second theme, wherein the second theme and the first theme are different themes from each other, and wherein one or more of the second custom sound files were previously associated with the one or more of the custom sound presentation instructions according to a second configuration setting,
• automatically unlink the one or more first custom sound files from the one or more of the custom sound presentation instructions, and
• automatically link the one or more second custom sound files to the one or more first custom sound files according to pre-stored link settings stored in the second configuration setting.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving user input from a casino attendant to design a custom sound including presentation instructions for the custom sound;
• means for storing the custom sound in a custom sound source
• means for determining an occurrence of an application event for an application that runs in association with a wagering game machine;
• means for accessing the custom sound source that includes customized sounds presentable separately from a soundtrack for the application, during a wagering game session on the wagering game machine;
• means for determining a custom sound, from the custom sound source, that relates to the application event;
• means for determining presentation instructions for the custom sound associated with the custom sound;
• means for determining an occurrence of an additional application event, wherein the application is scheduled to present an additional application sound associated with the additional application event;
• means for determining that presentation of the custom sound will conflict with presentation of the additional application sound;
• and
• means for dynamically modifying presentation of the custom sound to prevent conflict with the additional application sound.
