Members center on the desktop turn-completion sound being too quiet, with two pull requests proposing changes (a louder default with a volume slider, and a loudness boost with a soft limiter). One issue also mentions a separate Windows Electron repack problem involving an incomplete win-unpacked folder, which the other members do not address.
