Turn off iChat sounds when busy?

I can't quite believe this isn't a feature as it is in every other IM program, but...
Say I'm on a Gmail phone call. I set iChat to 'Busy'. But still people typing messages make the popup sound. I can find no way to mute iChat sounds when I'm Busy. As a result, the caller hears all these weird sound effects as the MacBook Pro speaker is right by the mic!
My only option is to quit iChat and appear offline to the person who was mid-conversation with me. Not very friendly, not very 'Apple'.
Surely there is an easier way to 'mute sounds when busy'?

Hi,
As Video and Audio Chats are Peer-to-Peer you can in fact log the Buddy List Off Line so it cannot make a noise.
Unfortunately this does not allow you to keep Text or sending Files to the Buddy you are chatting with.
You can also set System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects to a lower volume as this is the Volume the Alerts sounds are played at. (It will also reduce the sound of " New Mail" if you have one set).
I tend to balance the Sound Effects Volume against the Master/output Volume so that they don't interrupt/distract from any conversation
They can be Turned Off In iChat Preferences > Alerts (Albeit one by one)
There is no Mute Alert Sounds button or setting in any of the menus.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

How to turn off camera sound???

Every time i start a vid or take a screenshot or photo it makes the shutter sound and ive put it on mute and everything HOW DO I TURN IT OFF???? I WANT TO TAKE PICS OF PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES IN CLASS BUT I CANT BECAUSE OF THE SOUND!!!!!!!

In the US, it is possible to turn off the sound, but not just by using the mute switch (I know, I tried that and it did not work for me).
Golfnhi's solution did work for me.
I need to have the camera silent because I mostly use it to scan portions of books at the library for research. Yes, that is allowed. I checked with the librarian. However, I do not want to bother other patrons of the library with the constant shutter sound. It is simply too annoying. So, I'm glad there is a solution out there.

How to turn off camera sound on Nokia E5

I cannot turn off camera sound on Nokia E5-00. Who can help me?

@navbond007
Hi navbond007,
Digital camera's do have a sounds when a picture is being taken but this noise isn't artificial like in mobile phones it is the shutter mechanism. Some digital camera's shutter makes a low or no noise but they do have a beep to give an indication that a picture is being taken. In countries where this is compulsory by law it should give some indication that a picture is being taken.
Also please take into account one device is a phone and the other a dedicated camera.

How to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000

how to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000?
thank you

well , you're right, but the law argues that a digital camera looks like a digital camera so it's easier to spot by the person being photographed. also, a digital camera has no other function but to take pictures, so one can't assume it's being used for any othe purpose. on the othe hand, a phone can't be identified as a camera right away. so it's easier to take pictures of unwilling subjects.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call

How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call?

If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.
