AEJ 15 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I cannot seem to figure out how to turn off the (very annoying) ping sounds that have appeared while navigating the interface in the new version of ET. Can someone please enlighten me on how to do so? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 At the moment, no. Perhaps in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEJ 15 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Wow. That is truly disappointing. Was looking forward to using the new version, but those sounds are a show stopper. I hope perhaps ultimately means eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 just about any device you buy nowadays has these kinds of sounds, so they are not unusual. i'm sure we'll eventually have a setting for it, but I don't expect many will consider them showstoppers. to each their own I suppose.

I hope perhaps ultimately means eventually. The sounds are a show stopper? Really? This is a great app and you're worrying about a beep. It's a bit annoying but it's nowhere near a show stopper. Sheesh.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8244 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hmm mine must be broke because I don't have any navigation sounds. v1.0.33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshstix 25 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 just about any device you buy nowadays has these kinds of sounds, so they are not unusual. i'm sure we'll eventually have a setting for it, but I don't expect many will consider them showstoppers. to each their own I suppose. The thing is people use a HTPC because they don't want to use a media "device". With a HTPC people expect to be able to configure and customise their experience not just use it the way someone else decides is good. Not that I really care about the sounds but justifying them as compulsory because other devices uses them makes me concerned about the direction of the project and understanding of the users.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hmm mine must be broke because I don't have any navigation sounds. v1.0.33 I don't either but assumed they only worked with a Remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's in directionals, so anything that triggers them like a remote, have controller out keyboard. Not point and click with the mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianW 1052 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Configurable sounds would be great. With MB2 you could just stick some wav files in theme folder and they would be used in preference to the defaults. If this was a feature in ET you could then replace them with a couple of silent wav files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcEwan 11 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Given the option I would definitely turn the navigation sound off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEJ 15 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 When my wife says "All that beeping is annoying. I won't use it if keeps beeping like that", then yes its a show stopper. TBH, I'm a little surprised that people are OK with the beeping (and not being able to turn it off). One of the reasons I started using MB years ago was the ability to configure it exactly as I wanted. Still hopeful it will remain that way...

Actually, navigation sounds were put in with the first systems that respond to a remote control (WMC has them as well). The reason is that there are a lot of possible points of failure in the communication between your remote and the program so having some audible feedback that your remote command was received lets you know that it was. That is why you see them in most devices now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmcroy 315 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yes, I too understand that these sounds are in all devices nowadays. However, I turn them off on every device that I own. I am actually annoyed that on the Xbox One you have no option to turn off the sounds. It's a pretty standard feature in every device that I own to turn off the navigation sounds. Nexus player, PS3, Nvidia Shield TV, Roku all allow you to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very annoying. Didn't know that about the XBOX One. Was thinking of buying one but if I can't turn off the navigation sounds, I might spend my money elsewhere.

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Actually, navigation sounds were put in with the first systems that respond to a remote control (WMC has them as well).Yes, but in WMC you can turn them off in the options. There should definitely be an option to switch them off, family that can't stand bings and bongs when using stuff and moan about it constantly soon makes you find an alternative.

tman 47 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 +1 to that. I'd certainly like to have the option to turn them off. All those ping, ping, ping sounds as you navigate the UI can get a little annoying. I'm sure we'll get an option eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but WMC had been around for a while. This app just hit in beta . Options are the last thing we attempt to implement and then only when the default simply cannot handle the mass majority. I imagine this option will exist at some point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Dazik 44 Posted January 26, 2016 Solution Share Posted January 26, 2016 I've noticed there is an option to disable system sounds now. You guys are doing a stellar job at listening to the community, don't regret paying for premiere at all. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
