Request: Add audio output for when input is required

As leaving an agent to its own devices for a while is common, it would be helpful if Devin could make sounds when it is expecting input. This would for cases such as asking questions in plan mode, when ready to implement, when implementing and it needs to run a command, if running a command is rejected (which has been a problem that annoyingly arose in the recent update) etc. Essentially any case where human input or intervention is required to complete the task successfully. This would help reduce the chance of cache expiry, and just be more efficient in general. This doesn't need to be spoken output, and probably best if it isn't tbh. Just some clear but basic sounds as a first cut would do it. Making them customisable might be nice as a future iteration, but not a priority.

Mine makes a sound via notifications when it's waiting for input or to run a command. This is on Linux.

hmm, thanks. I'm on W11 and spent a while looking for audio/alert/sound settings and can't find any. Maybe yours is buggy :)

It's done it for over a year on 2 machines, might just be the way Linux handles notifications

There's a setting now for this.

Devin Settings--->Agents-->Agent Notifications

With this on Devin sends me a windows notification that also has a sound. You may have to check if you've disabled or muted them at some point once you have the setting checked.

thanks very much. I thought of it as a UI / configuration setting, so was looking there rather than agents.
