Hey.

Not sure whether this can be considered a "bug"...
Since 3.0, in all kinds of things the "bell" sound appears
in all kinds of places, where it didn't before...

e.g. when doing an unsuccessful tab completion in
gnome-terminal (which at least has an option to disable the
bell)... or in Firefox when searching for text and that isn't
found.

That's quite annoying and I didn't find a way to get rid of
it via the sound applet,...
It is possible in my system cause the soundcard itself
(though only ALSA exports this and Pulseaudio once again sucks
here), allows me to "mute" the "beep" (which seems to be used
for the bell.
But this is of course no solution for all those people
with cards who don't export that as a mixer item.


Cheers,
Chris.

Hi!

However, the default is still false as far as I could find.

Can you please show the output of:
dconf read /org/cinnamon/desktop/wm/preferences/audible-bell

As this is an accessibility feature, the setting is located in the
Accessibility settings panel, in the Keyboard tab.

Can you confirm that you had this set to true and that setting it
to false makes this go away?

Thanks.

I see...
That gives no output, exit status = 0.

In dconf-editor it's shown as false.
It's false there either.
Nope, was both false... and as soon as I un-mute the beep item in
alsamixer, it gives me bells again, when I e.g. search in Firefox
(Ctrl-F) and enter a string that doesn't exist.


Cheers,
Chris.

Hi, I saw the upstream issue closed after some years of inactivity, but
I not understand if the bug is solved or still present (I don't have
time for a thorough check)

@Christoph Anton Mitterer: Can you please tell me if it is still present
and is it problematic?
