# Sound Preferences

Use the Sound pane of Fuse preferences to configure Fuses sound output.

OPTION | DESCRIPTION
--- | ---
Enabled | Specify whether sound output should be enabled at all. When this option is disabled, Fuse will not make any sound.
Beeper Volume | Slider for the relative volume of the built-in beeper.
AY Volume | Slider for the relative volume of the AY-3-8912 chip in machines/interfaces that have one.
SpecDrum Volume | Slider for the relative volume of the SpecDrum when used as a peripheral.
Covox Volume | Slider for the relative volume of the Covox in machines/interfaces that have one.
Speaker Type | This option allows the emulation of the sound output system to be modified. Different choices of speaker limit the bass and treble response that can be produced from the machine. Choose between a “TV” type speaker and a small beeper type speaker that significantly limits bass and treble response or Unfiltered for the full frequency range like from the MIC output.
Loading sounds | Normally, Fuse emulates tape-loading noise when loading from PZXs, TAPs or TZXs in real-time, albeit at a deliberately lower volume than on a real Spectrum. You can disable this option to eliminate the loading noise entirely.
AY stereo separation | By default, the sound output is mono, since this is all you got from an unmodified Spectrum. But using this option allows you to choose from None (mono), so-called ACB stereo or ABC stereo (for sound from the 128’s AY-3-8912 sound chip).
