Description:This function is mainly used for the module. Most of the modules have their own startup sound and barcode
scanning sound, so the startup sound of the PCB and the wireless transmission sound are turned on. The two sounds
overlap. Therefore we added the settings for sound switch which respond to the noise and repeat sounds of the modules.
