1.5: Please be quiet!

[charles]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor is not bleeping at me all the time. I dont want this. Whenever it pops an action required, I get a beep.

Notifications and sounds are disabled in cursor settings. Looks like missed a check on commandline actions?

Steps to Reproduce

Ask a prompt, when it decides it wants terminal input it beeps.

Expected Behavior

Silence.

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey! You can disable notifications from Cursor settings - just click the gear icon

[charles]

Hi Andrew, they are disabled? Settings→cursor settings. Or is there a shadow set somewhere?

[MidnightOak]

This is all I know of

Under general settings

I had this same issue last week. It appeared on both VSCode and Cursor at the same time. After doing some research, it turns out it was an accessibility feature. I don’t recall specifically what the setting was, but it was related to accessibility, and I can’t find it again now in the settings. It was quite buried. Perhaps this helps at least knowing it was related to ‘accessibility’ and that it affected BOTH vscode and cursor at the same time. I do not recall doing anything to enable it, so I assumed it was related to an update. If I find the setting again, I’ll post it up.

It’s still not working… I disabled all the accessibility options related to the sound and restarted the IDE, but the bug is still there. It’s only been a day, but I’m already seriously annoyed, as I find it very difficult to work like this.
I’ve also disabled the “System Notifications” and “Completion Sound”, but the bug is persistent.

Has anyone managed to completely disable 100% the sound?

Hi @andrewh , any suggestion on how to proceed?

[techntrails]

[ayqy]

Thanks @ayqy and @MidnightOak. I’ve tried that solution, but it still doesn’t work.

I’ve also disabled all the single sources from the same menu, but the sound is still there and it’s dramatically annoying .

[techntrails]

@tavro setting this setting to 0 seems to work for me - cursor://settings/accessibility.signalOptions.volume

[tavro]

@techntrails

accessibility.signalOptions.volume

Thanks @techntrails , that works for me!
