Error Sound

Plays raand.mp3 when an error appears in the VS Code Problems panel or when a terminal command fails.

Features

• Plays a sound when any error diagnostic appears in the Problems panel (TypeScript, linters, etc.)
• Plays a sound when a terminal command exits with a non-zero code (e.g. "command not found")
• Cross-platform: macOS (afplay), Windows (powershell), Linux (aplay)

Install

1. npm install
2. npm run compile
3. npx @vscode/vsce package --allow-missing-repository
4. In VS Code: Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX... → choose the .vsix file
5. Reload the window (Cmd+Shift+P → "Developer: Reload Window")

Usage

Code / Problems panel errors

No setup needed. Open a project, introduce a syntax error — when it appears in the Problems panel, the sound plays.

Terminal errors

Requires VS Code 1.93+ with shell integration enabled (on by default). When a command fails (non-zero exit code), the sound plays.

Test playback

Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) → Error Sound: Play test sound

Logs

Open the Output panel → select "Error Sound" from the dropdown to see playback logs.
