How to disable sounds in Kate? [SOLVED]

Hi All,

Kate editor (I am still using the 4.13, as having troubles with 5.x) makes sounds at certain events, e.g. when search reaches the end of the file.
The problem is that it sets all mixer levels to maximum (PCM, Master and Headphone channels), and if I listen music at the same time, it suddenly gets 10x louder, hurting my ears and also louds out from the headphone, disturbing the people sitting around, and after I need to set back the volume manually.
It would be easy to disable the sound in Kate, as I don't need that at all. But I don't know how to do that. I checked Kate preferences, haven't found anything, and tryed to check KDE system settings, but that is version 5, and contains almost nothing. I don't use KDE, I have DWM started by startx.

Any experiences with this would be appreciated!

I would try with kcmshell4 kcmnotify. As opposed to kcmshell5 variant. This whole thing about transition and double configs depending on which version of qt/plasma an app is based on is really starting to annoy me

Wonderful, setting "No audio output" on the "Player settings" tab solved the problem!
Many thanks!
