Audio bell does not work in integrated terminal

[jhpratt]

• VSCode Version: 1.22.1 (commit 950b8b0d37a9b7061b6f0d291837ccc4015f5ecd)
• OS Version: Ubuntu 17.10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open an integrated terminal
2. Type echo "\a"

Assuming your OS is configured to allow TTY, you should hear a bell. In a normal terminal, this works fine. In code's, it does not.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Looks like there's an issue with the bell in the packages version of VS Code (not in the dev build):

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Unable to decode audio data

This may be related to Electron https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=409402, should verify after we upgrade to Electron 2.

Not fixed in Electron 2?

I have the same problem with this in my machine:

(Plan to use this ASCII to ring some task when the compilation is finish 😹)
Maybe make the beep sound can be configured (like in KDE Konsole in my case) would fix it.

Hi, any idea when this will be fixed?

I am trying to add a bell sound at the end of my grunt task. It works fine in default terminal but not in the vscode integrated terminal.

I can also reproduce this issue in macOS with

echo -ne '\007'

VS Code: 1.34.0
macOS: 10.14.5

I'm seeing this too.

Even with terminal.integrated.enableBell enabled, running printf "\a" in the VS Code Integrated Terminal triggers no sound, despite the same command triggering a sound in my OS terminal.

MacOS 10.14.5
