I would rather NOT have WSJT-X have to worry about trying to access
ANOTHER audio interface considering the issues current users have trying
to get the audio to connect properly. Then trying to do that over three
separate OS platorms.
JT-Alert works, it runs in its own thread, and can properly access other
output devices on your computer much easier.
While the color coding was added for those users on platforms that do
not have such a good alerting system, or can't add one due to processor
limitations, I can't see adding sounds as being a worthwhile use of
their time as there are alternatives for at least two of the platforms
being used.

It's so successful that I hear "CQ" spoken over the air on non-phone
freqs at least 5 different times a week. It gets very old hearing that
for hours at a time.
If the devs do decide to add sounds, please let's make sure that the
alert sound interface is __never__ the same as the radio sound interface.

*Subject:* [wsjt-devel] On my wish list: Notification sounds.
Am I really the only one there would love to have notification / alarm
sounds? I really miss the possibility for a sound when own call sign
is decoded. This is very useful when calling CQ with long time between
responses. Another sound for any call decoded is useful e.g. when
monitoring MSK 144 under low activity and poor conditions. Sounds
could be a beep, ding or a user defined wav file.
And yes, I know that JTAlert can do it (I have earlier used this
function with great success), but after the new great color markings
for B4 etc. became included in WSJT-X, it’s not any longer necessary
for me to use JTAlert (except for the sounds). I’m running remote
controlled for most of the winter time and wish to minimize the remote
set-up software. Please consider implementation of such a feature in a
future version. Thanks for your efforts and fantastic work!
