Confirmed bug. In src/routes/+layout.svelte the completion-sound path only checks notificationSoundAlways, not notificationSound. If you had "Always Play Notification Sound" enabled at any point and then turned off the main "Notification Sound" toggle, the nested setting's value is still stored as true (and the UI hides it, so you can't see it's on).

As a workaround until this is patched:

Toggle it off via the UI:

Open Settings → Interface
Turn Notification Sound back ON (the outer toggle)
The nested "Always Play Notification Sound" toggle will reappear — turn that one OFF
Now turn Notification Sound OFF again

Applied fix, Turned off the nested option and then turned off the main option. Still audio on each response.
