Is there any way to disable, mute, or otherwise change the incessant message 'beep' in QGIS? I need volume on the PC for other unrelated notiifications yet am tired of apologising for the echoing cacophony to workmates whenever I'm using QGIS.

Thanks

What operating system are you using? You can usually disable noises at the system level. – djq Oct 30 '12 at 15:25

Left-click on the volume icon in the bottom right corner of your screen (assuming Windows). Click on Mixer. You will see a list of applications that are currently open and that play sounds, like so:

Drag the sound slider to the bottom and you're done.

If you don't see your application in the Mixer, it hasn't made a sound since it has been opened. In this case, just trigger a sound (e.g. try using the open vector dialog with no contents). Re-open the Mixer and the application should be present.
