Notifications
Open Settings, Notifications to control which events trigger a sound and how loud each one plays.
Screenshot placeholder: notifications panel with the event list.
Master toggle
Section titled “Master toggle”At the top of the panel is a single master enabled toggle. When off, no notification sounds play regardless of the per-event settings.
Below that is a native desktop notifications toggle that controls whether the operating system’s notification popups are shown for events that support them.
Events
Section titled “Events”For each event you can toggle it on or off, pick a sound, and set the per-event volume.
