How to turn off all sounds from Visual Studio Code?

Not an elegant solution, but works:

• Look towards the notification area which is typically located in the bottom-right corner of a Windows Desktop environment.
• Right-click the icon that looks like a Speaker, and select 'Open Volume Mixer' from the list of choices.

OR

• Press the 'Windows Key' or open the Start menu, and then type in 'audio devices' and select 'Manage audio devices' from the results, and hit enter.

THEN

• Scroll to the Application representing MS Visual Studio Code and hit the Mute button - voila!
