QKeyEvent isAutoRepeat not working?

So, I have an application where if a particular button is kept pressed it plays an audio device, when the button is released it stops the audio device. I use keyPressEvent and KeyReleaseEvent to implement this which is similar to the code below:

void ConsoleMainWindow::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
    if(event->isAutoRepeat())
    {
        event->ignore();
    }
    else
    {
        if(event->key() == Qt::Key_0)
        {
            qDebug()<<"key_0 pressed"<<endl;
        }
        else
        {
            QWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
        }
    }
}

void MainWindow::keyReleaseEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
    if(event->isAutoRepeat())
    {
        event->ignore();
    }
    else
    {
        if(event->key() == Qt::Key_0)
        {
            qDebug()<<"key_0 released"<<endl;
        }
        else
        {
            QWidget::keyReleaseEvent(event);
        }
    }
}

But apparently isAutoRepeat function isn't working as I can see continuous print out of key_0 pressed and key_0 released despite the fact I haven't released the 0 key after I have pressed it. Is my code wrong or something else is wrong?

Thanks.
