v2014.139 adds informative popup messages and UI sounds and improves data input of border sizes.
(....)
There will be tick or double tick sounds when certain routines finish.(....)
(....) there's a new button next to the Cheater button that will let you turn the sound on and off (....)
I thank you too Fred for your "early nudges" on some of Mike's updates.
But am I the only one who
still hears these ticks (or micro-beeps) even when I have set Sounds to OFF?
When I toggle the new toolbar button to its Off state I get the neat little mid-screen acknowledgement pop-up OK, saying "UI Sounds muted", the toolbar button icon changes as expected to its 'red'-crossed-out 'Off' version, and my Menu | Edit | Preferences | Sound setting also shows sounds turned (ostensibly) "Off" - yet I still hear ticks, exactly as though they're still turned On.
(When I toggle the new toolbar button to On I get the other acknowledgement pop-up saying "UI Sounds on", plus the neat, short micro-beep that accompanies it - and the other 'indications' show the appropriate On state too. It all seem fine!)
I get ticks as follows ...
(a) one tick when thumbnails have initially been rendered after I browse to a new folder,
(b) two ticks shortly afterwards when cache activity has finished on the last of the RAW files in that folder.
I don't hear tick(s) on printing, but perhaps any tick at this stage is buried below the noise of my printer rattling, or by the Windows "Asterisk" 'beep' that's emitted each time a job is launched from Qimage to my printer.
I hope I'm not alone - having "Sounds Off" not actually being "Off" - and that there's a fix in the works ... but if I can help diagnose this in the meantime then please ask.
Windows 7, 64-bit, 16 GB RAM, all patched & up to date.
Audio is working OK otherwise on my system.
Sound Card is a motherboard-integrated, "AMD High Definition Audio Device"
on an ASUS P7P55D EVO motherboard, Intel i7 CPU
Audio driver is the standard Windows-provided "Version 6.0.1.7500"
Direct X is Version 11
....
Edited to add ...
I do have another USB Audio device installed and connectedin this PC, but it is totally dormant and is only 'accessed' when I activate its specific software, which isn't running when I do photo-editing etc.. Also, all my 'default' Windows audio is directed through the on-board AMD Sound Card I mentioned above.
This other audio device is a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 (external) USB box and its Driver version is "focusrite-usb-2-driver-2.5" - but again, it has no speakers attached, and is 'idle' - but I thought I should mention that it's sitting as a Windows 'device' alongside my 'active' Sound Card.
