# Settings

The gear icon in <mark style="color:green;">**Settings**</mark> allows you to customize your playing across audio and interface preferences, giving you control over how the platform looks, sounds, and behaves during gameplay.

#### **Sound Mix**

<mark style="color:green;">**Music**</mark> – Adjust the **ambient soundtrack volume** for the full game session using the slider (0–100%).

<mark style="color:green;">**Sound FX**</mark> – Control the volume of **reel spins, wins, and interaction feedback**.

Both audio settings are independent, allowing you to balance background music and gameplay feedback separately.

#### **Gameplay & Interface**

<mark style="color:green;">**USD Mode**</mark> – Toggle on/off to display all platform values in USD instead of APE.

<mark style="color:green;">**Mute Notifications**</mark> – Toggle on to silence non-essential alerts while playing.

<mark style="color:green;">**Fate Seed**</mark> – Customize your seed phrase or use a randomly generated seed for each play.

These settings allow you to personalize Ape Church for a quieter experience, simplified interface, or customized gameplay preferences.
