<![CDATA[[Request]Disable Opera Startup Sound]]>This is the only post I will ever make on this board, but I would like to add my voice to those who have already asked for a straight forward means to disable the startup sound. Here's why:
I am very high sensory anxiety, because of reasons I don't have control over. I set my speakers to quiet time for the most part. But the problem is that you play an unexpected noise, and to make it worse you seem to want to play it at a high volume.

I'm not cool with that. What I want is a disable option. Otherwise Opera is a cool browser. But I need the noise to be off. I am sure I am not alone in this. It is an accessibility issue*, not convenience for many of us.

The splash screen only comes with each update, you'll get the splash screen again with the next update.

The current windows version is 111.0.5168.55 -- if the next update is 111.something it will make noise. If the next update is 112.something it is supposed to be quiet.

I thought the 111 was the latest? Anyhow, now the splash screen doesn't even show up for me anymore. So I guess problem unintentionally solved??

The splash screen and the sound was a something deliberated added and, now, the sound is being deliberated removed.

This has been going on for months. There have been several updates. But the update that will fix a known problem is always somewhere in the unknown future.

Perhaps it may go away when version 112 comes out, but the worthless annoying intrusive loud noise is still part of Opera 111.0.5168.43 which was released in the last 24 hours.
