Hello felixadlen, Thank you for your first issue contribution 🎉

[tisfeng]

Thank you for your feedback, we didn't change the code related to disabling beeps in recent versions, and this issue will most likely always exist.

In the beginning, due to the complexity of this issue #111 , there is no good solution at the moment, that's why we provide a 'Disable Empty Copy Beep' option, but this option may cause playing music to lag #83 , so currently it's only really enabled if no sound is playing.

To make matters worse, the current method for determining whether a computer has the Play Sound feature is a private method that is unreliable and sometimes fails, in which case 'Disable Empty Copy Beep' will not work.

It's only sometimes that this problem occurs, at which point you can try playing-pausing the music to see if you can temporarily fix the problem.
