Mute all mt4 platform sounds?

Is it possible to turn off all indicator, mail and alert sounds from the metatrader software itself but still keep my speakers on for alerts from other websites? A search of mute and sound on the help area of mt4 didn't go anywhere.

Thanks for any help!

Menu -- Tools -- Options -- Events tab
Uncheck the "enable" box.
You can also selectively disable only certain sounds.

Provided that your indicators use the "Alert" function and not the Playsound, this will do.

Oh you're a wonderful person!...smart too!

I don't know if I have any Playsound alerts but I expect your advice will take care of 99% of the racket that keeps waking me up!

Thanks Doblece!

Many thanks Poocher and doblece! I just found the solution to my problem (albeit in the MT5) by reading your post. Cheers.

Hello thank you for the solution but it did solve only partially the issue since there is alerts enabled in many indicators and i will have to disable alerts on each indicator separately which will modify the indicator setting.

Here is the ultimate solution if nothing works :

The easiest thing is to mute MT4 completely, using the 'Mixer' setting of your volume control (Windows 7).
If you're using Windows XP, just mute all MIDIs and WAVs, also using the PC's sound controls.

Best Regards,
Zangar

This has always been a problem in MT4 for years, AND even if you turn it off it still rings. So I have to rename the sound file.
