What are you trying to achieve?:
I want to be able to work with the builder without hearing annoying Windows warning sounds when the program encounters an error like when another dialog windows is open but I try to click on something else.

What did you try to make it work?:
Looking in the preferences.

There doesn’t seem to be an option.

Why not just mute your PC’s audio? I don’t think you can mute windows errors through PsychoPy. Might want to look in system settings if you want to do that.

I forgot to post but I figured out you can just completely disable these annoying sounds all together.
