you can disable sound using the preferences panel. To open it choose "help" in the world-menu and then "preferences". The sound stuff is in the category "media" (soundsEnabled).

I have recently reinstalled 3.0 on SuSe 7. I launched Squeak on one window, and a MP3 (KDE) player elsewhere, and on the surface of Squeak I decided to get rid of the rodent face, its eyes make me nervous... As you know, it dies with a specific sound. Apparently it could not die in an elegant manner because sound resources were not available, so as a blind vengeance it blocked the application. Nothing worked anymore.
(One of my students reported that under Windows NT the application window in such circumstances behaves as a textual console writing some unpleasant messages, but the system continues to work...)
Any suggestions? I am almost sure that the sound service of my Linux is the responsible for the mess, but for the moment I might try to find a replacement solution. For example to kill the sounds in Squeak, I don't really need them *now*. Where can I do that? Somewhere near AbstractSound/SequentialSound? Or where else? Thanks.
