Adding audible alert for breakpoints in VS Code 1.52.1?

Solution 1:

In the Insiders Build v1.65 there a few new individual settings controlling audio and it appears that the general Audio Cues: Enabled has been removed in favor of the more specific settings.

audioCues.onDebugBreak: Plays a sound when the debugger stopped on a breakpoint.  

audioCues.lineHasBreakpoint:  "Plays a sound when the active line has a breakpoint." 

audioCues.lineHasInlineSuggestion: "Plays a sound when the active line has an inline suggestion."  


audioCues.lineHasError: "Plays a sound when the active line has an error."  

audioCues.lineHasFoldedArea: "Plays a sound when the active line has a folded area that can be unfolded."

audioCues.lineHasWarning: "Plays a sound when the active line has a warning."  (off by default)

And see https://stackoverflow.com/a/70988028/836330 for how to list, hear and modify these settings using the

Help: List Audio Cues command from the Command Palette.

This is in the Stable Build v1.64 now.

Setting: Audio Cues: Enabled

auto : default - Enable audio cues when a screen reader is attached
on : Enable audio cues
off : Disable audio cues

This works for breakpoints.
