SAFR Actions runs as a Windows Service and in this mode cannot perform interactive actions on the PC such as play a sound.  To play a sound, SAFR Actions must be run as a command line app.  This can be done as follows:

cd “C:\Program Files\RealNetworks\SAFR\ares”
“C:\Program Files\RealNetworks\SAFR\jdk\bin\java” -jar ares.jar

import winsound
winsound.MessageBeep(1)


The script can be invoked from SAFRActions.config file as follows:
