Alert Sounds on the Mac

[Anonymous]

GS should set the various alerts (toots, pings, etc.) in ArchiCAD to play at the "Alert volume" as set in the sounds preferences, rather than at the "Output volume" which is really for music, video, etc.

Granted, many other developers make the same mistake, but all the Apple products behave properly (naturally) and I have to assume that it is a pretty simple matter.

You wish for it too, then?

One of the first things I do after installing a new version of ArchiCAD on my Mac is to use Resorcerer to delete the Sound resource. This way I eliminate the (irritating) interface sounds altogether.

This is no longer necessary in ArchiCAD 10 as they can now be turned off in the Work Environment. Matthew's wish, however, is still valid.

Hi Geoff! Weird, I've done already as you describe in my Work Environment settings. I guess I had forgotten about it and still remembered the olden days!
