Audio tool setup

Linux

  • For best results, install at least one of these tools:
    • ffplay (from ffmpeg):
      sudo apt install ffmpeg
      
    • paplay (PulseAudio):
      sudo apt install pulseaudio-utils
      
    • aplay (ALSA):
      sudo apt install alsa-utils
      
  • The extension will try all three automatically.

macOS

  • No setup needed. afplay is built-in and used by the extension.

Windows

  • No setup needed. PowerShell is used to play the sound.

How to package

npm install -g @vscode/vsce
vsce package

This will create a .vsix file you can install in VS Code.
