Check Point Mobile disable sound

[mmitic]

Hello to everyone,

How can I disable sound upon connect and disconnect in VPN client?

Many users have this request and I can't find a solution 😞

Thanks in advance.

Regards

M.

While I don't think you can disable the sounds, you can certainly replace the sounds with something else--like a wav file that plays nothing, if you prefer.
See: C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\Endpoint Connect\res

Thanks, I created empty files and insterted them instead of originals and it works 🙂

what about Mac? perhaps do you know the path there as well? can't figure it out

[PhoneBoy]

Did you open up the application bundle?
If there is a file to replace, it’d probably be in there.

You mean to go under Applications/Checkpoint app and right click> "show package contents"?

I tried so, opened every folder or sub package, didn't find anything.. 
do you know where to look?
or perhaps what to look for? because I tried also to search for *.wav files but no results

For Mac, you need to change the Endpoint Security VPN app.
This is installed under /Library/Application Support/Checkpoint/Endpoint Security/Endpoint Connect
I confirm I can see the following files (which I assume can be replaced):

• ./Endpoint Security VPN.app/Contents/Resources/TracFailed.wav
• ./Endpoint Security VPN.app/Contents/Resources/TracConnected.wav

Ohh bummer this was so close..
I managed to track the entire path but the files at the end do not exists, how strange

 
using version: 
Version VPN E86.50 Build 986200708

I assume you installed “Endpoint Security VPN” instead of the full Endpoint client (which @G_W_Albrecht and I are both using). 
Which means it may be somewhere else.
Something like the following might help you find the precise location:

find “/Library/Application Support/Checkpoint” -name TracConnected.wav -print

I can find both .wav files here:

This screenshot made me wonder the entire thing from scrach..

Not sure if I did it correctly but originally my app was downloaded from here
https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/remote-access-vpn/

which do not contains the files in the mentioned above paths.

I now redownloaded the app from the app store
https://apps.apple.com/il/app/check-point-capsule-connect/id506669652

this looks like a newer and better app which

a. contains the files 

b. do not make sounds by default (?) (need to further test this but seems quiet so far)

This is a VPN client intended for Mobile Phones and iPads, not for the Mac.
Having said that, M1-based Macs can run iPad apps, which is why this is working for you.

This is Endpoint Security VPN OS X flavor Mobile...

Hi, the easiest way to achieve this on Windows (11 tested) is by disabling the Windows app sound for the Check Point VPN client. You can find this setting in the tray after scrolling.

Or, if you prefer, you can do it in the extended Sound > Volume mixer settings.

Also, if you want to disable the notification sounds too:

you may do this through the Notifications settings:

It looks like that although the app sound icon disappears after the client has been shut down, the setting is remembered for the next time you start it. If it survives changes in Windows, it should also survive the VPN client updates.

I hope this helps.
