Description

Controls if sound and announcement signals are played when a Task has been ran but does not complete successfully.

When "sound" is set to "auto", the sound signal will play whenever a Task has been ran but has not completed successfully and a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibilitySettings": "on". When set to "off", the sound signal will never play even when a screen reader is detected or "editor.accessibiltySupport": "on". When set to "on", the sound signal will always play even when a screen reader is not detected or "editor.accessibilitySupport": "off".

When "announcement" is set to "auto", the screen reader will make the announcement whenever a Task has been ran but has not completed successfully and a screen reader is detected. When set to "off", the screen reader will never make the announcement even when a screen reader is detected.
