      I'm using a theme called comic book. It plays a sound effect related to the system whenever a game is launched. Is there an easy way to disable that? I tried just renaming/removing the audio files and while it works it does throw an error up about not being able to find it. I'd prefer something neater.

      Thanks in advance

        Instead of renaming instead replace it with a 1 second empty sound clip?

          @Spectral Why not disable the audio in Emulationstation's menu ?

            Because I don't want to lose all navigation sounds, I just don't like these specific ones, I think they sound tacky. Plus they vary in audio quality and volume.

            Replacing them with a silent audio file is definitely an option if I can't find a way to stop it from trying to play them.

            Ideally a way to edit the theme so it doesn't try to play them at all.
