alternatively, if you don't use sound or the socket server, you don't need to use flash at all. You can delete (or rename) the flash folder and the sounds folder completely. It shouldn't give any errors if you do that.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I removed the sound files in my chat because they were getting annoying and now I get this error: Error: Failed to load sound file (Flash IO Error).
I know it is because it can't find the files, is there any way to stop this search or set the sounds to off as a default?

Reupload all sound files and set the config parameter "audio" to false.
