vscode: Audio cues no longer play

Type: Bug

In the most recent insiders version, audio cues no longer play. I ensured that the audio cues I expect are enabled (e.g. error) and entered the following json as an example:

{ hello }

I ensured that the error was reported when moving through errors with f8, yet the cue doesn’t play when I come across the line with up/down arrow keys

VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.71.0-insider (73fd3f11032e7b83c2ae011b5516e6ddd19e3db2, 2022-08-05T07:36:58.753Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.25151 Modes: Sandboxed: No

Sorry for the regression, but this is a temporary expected breakage because we are updating our supported audio formats https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/158486, audio cues will be updated to new format this iteration as part of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/147190

I can confirm that it works here as well. Hopefully it stays that way 😉

Sorry about that @jvesouza @leonardder. We just pushed a fix, and the VS Code insiders from tomorrow will have the fix.

For me it also works like a charm on Windows.

The same problem using code-insiders into a fedora workstation 36.

@deepak1556 makes sense, thanks! There is actually already this one which we can use for the mp3 conversion https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/147190

@leonardder thanks a lot for reporting this, and sorry about this breakage.

You’re welcome, I’m running insiders for a reason 😉 Looking forward to a fix.

I can reproduce this. Easy repros steps:

  1. F1 > list audio cues command
  2. Audio cues do not produce sound 🐛

Works fine on latest stable. Does not work on Insiders. fyi @deepak1556 since most likely caused by Electron update (thus adding label). Maybe our future planned ffmpeg change will fix this?

@leonardder thanks a lot for reporting this, and sorry about this breakage.
