Error Sound Alerts 🎵

Error Sound Alerts Icon

Stop missing errors. Catch bugs the moment they hit your code.

Does your coding flow ever get interrupted because you didn't notice a syntax error until you tried to run your app? Or have you ever sat waiting for a terminal command only to find it failed minutes ago?

Error Sound Alerts solves this instantly by giving you audible feedback the moment things go wrong. Stay in the zone and fix issues before they even register in your brain.


🚀 Key Features

  • Instant Code Alerts: Hear a subtle sound the second a red squiggly (diagnostic error) appears in your file.
  • Terminal Integration: Automatically alerts you when a terminal command fails (Exit Code ≠ 0).
  • Sound Dashboard: A dedicated sidebar "Control Center" to manage your library.
  • Personal Sound Library:
    • Upload your own MP3/WAV files.
    • Preview sounds with a single click.
    • Select your favorite alert style.
  • Ultra-Lean & Smart: Uses signature-based diffing to ensure you only hear sounds for new errors, preventing audio spam.
  • Customizable: Control volume, cooldowns, and monitoring scope (Active file vs. Workspace).

🛠️ How It Works

  1. Activate: Click the Speaker Icon in the Activity Bar to initialize your Audio Engine.
  2. Choose Your Sound: Use the sidebar to pick from the default mallikgalti.mp3 or upload your own.
  3. Code & Fly: Just start coding! If you make a mistake or a terminal command crashes, you'll hear your alert instantly.
