SHRUDE: It doesnt take long to work out you go to the AUDIO settings and turn down AMBIENT sounds
Doesn't work that way. You would have to turn off ALL the sounds (top option on AUDIO page) including the ding.
The way I have played for years. I play mostly at night when everyone else is asleep. The ding ( the few times I hit it) would wake my wife up. So I mute all sounds when i play.
X2 JIm, and besides playing in silence, I also play in the dark with nothing but my screen for light. Some of, actually most of my best rounds are played like this. My wife thinks I'm nuts for playing late nights like this, but at my age I enjoy the solitude, and it helps my focus. As far a hearing the ding goes, there's a reason there's a term, " hand to eye" coordination, not hand to ear. To each his own, I guess, just my way of doing it.
