Brother Ewww Sound Extension 🔊

Plays a hilarious "Brother Ewww" sound ONLY when something fails in VS Code!

🎯 When Does It Play?

The sound plays ONLY on errors and failures:

❌ Your code throws an error
❌ Your build fails
❌ Your task exits with non-zero code
❌ Diagnostics detect red squiggles

✅ Success = Silent! No sound on successful operations.

Features

• 🔊 Terminal failures only - When commands exit with non-zero code
• 🔊 Task failures only - When VS Code tasks fail
• 🔊 Diagnostics errors only - When new errors appear (red squiggles)
• ⚙️ Configurable - Enable/disable and adjust cooldown
• 🎮 Lightweight - No dependencies, pure JavaScript
• 🔇 Smart detection - Only plays on NEW errors, not every keystroke

Requirements

• VS Code 1.75.0 or higher
• A sense of humor 😄
