While the Sound Effect No. goes up to 1ff, not all of these values are used. Setting SE No. to an unused value may cause the game to crash.

One Sound Effect No. may contain several sounds. For example, SE No. 00 in the VOICE bank contains several sword slashing sound effects.

SE SW is changed by flipping the bits in a 16 digit binary number. A hexadecimal representation of the number appears to the right of the option.

Page 15 - Sound Control#

Sound Control allows for some advanced audio options. The first two options both allow you to play any soundtrack in the game (you can use both simultaneously if you wish, and will actually work). The next two options allow you to play any sound effect in the game. The third option selects the sound effect type, the fourth one the sound effect number. S-Out sets the sound type (Stereo, Headphones, 3D, Mono). Na Snd allows you to play various nature sounds (like the sandstorm sound FX, etc.).
