Recording and playing sounds in fieldsYou can record sound in FileMaker Pro, and play sounds in container fields.Before you record sounds, make sure your computer has the proper equipment and software to record sounds:
• An audio input device (such as a microphone) that is compatible with your computer. (Some computers have built-in microphones.)
• The audio input device must be configured properly in the Hardware and Sound Control Panel (Windows Vista or Windows 7), Sounds and Audio Devices Control Panel (Windows XP), or the Sound System Preference (Mac OS).
1. Or right-click the container field and choose Insert Sound.Note If the Sound or Insert Sound menu item is unavailable, be sure that the Optimize for Images option is selected in the Inspector.
2. For example, speak into the microphone, or play the sound that you want to record with your audio input device.
4. To stop recording, click Stop.

• You can paste sounds from the Clipboard into container fields.
• If a sound is compressed on a Mac OS-based computer, you might not be able to play it on a Windows-based computer.
