# Sound

`Sound` manages effect sounds and voice feedback for navigation.

## Sound effects

Enable `Enable sound effects` to use macOS system sounds for LaunchNext actions.

Per-event sound mapping is available for:

- Launchpad opens
- Launchpad closes
- Move focus

Each row supports:

- a sound picker
- `Preview`
- `None` option

## Voice feedback

`Enable Voice Over` announces focused app or folder names while navigating.

When Voice Over is enabled, navigation click sound is replaced by voice output.

## Recommended presets

## Quiet daily setup

- sound effects: on
- launch open/close sounds: subtle
- move focus sound: subtle or none
- voice over: off

## Accessibility-first setup

- sound effects: on
- voice over: on
- keep navigation sound simple to avoid overlap

## Troubleshooting

## Preview button has no output

1. make sure selected sound is not `None`
2. check macOS output device and volume
3. verify sound effects toggle is enabled
