In system preferences, Sound, there are tabs for sound effects and output. They can be muted separately. Muting the sound effects makes sure that any incoming alerts will not sound.

I think that's about as close as I'll get, and it'll work well. Thanks.

Hi
Here is how I do it. Select Mail - Preferences - General tab - Mail sound. On top of the soundlist choose ”none”. Hope it help. I have a Mac Mini 2014.

Thanks. I use Outlook so did something similar. That should help a great deal. I thought there would be a setting to give only one program access to audio when running, but maybe not.

Hi. I have what is probably a dumb question, but I'm trying to figure out how to stop my MacBook from playing any other sounds like e-mail alerts when Pianoteq is running. Practicing late at night through headphones and hearing a kabing is a little jarring. Thanks.
