Click between various alert sounds, verify that you can hear them. If not, troubleshoot audio output before continuing. In Compiz Settings Manager, Generall Options plugin, General tab, Audible Bell enabled. n gnome-terminal default profile, General tab, enable "Terminal bell". At a shell prompt in the terminal window, hit backspace--no sound heard. Execute "beep" command with no parameters--no sound heard.

init
script
- Install more upstream man pages
- Link to pacat for parec man page
- check whether pulseaudio is running before preloading the padsp library

* debian/control:
- Dro packages, due to debian including the files in these packages in the
main pulseaudio package: pulseaudio-module-udev,
pulseaudio-module-udev-dbg, pulseaudio-module-rygel-media-server,
pulseaudio-module-rygel-media-server-dbg
- Add conflicts/replaces for pulseaudio-module-udev and
pulseaudio-module-rygel-media-server
- Add replaces for pulseaudio-module-hal to the pulseaudio package to handle
upgrades from hardy
- Remove rtkit from conflicts, and add it to recommends, as 2.6.32 has the
needed patches

[Bug 301174] Re: Use proper sound event instead of system beep
@michael perigard: thanks for your insightful comments - blacklisting pcspr pretty much obfuscates the issue. However, neither metacity nor compiz are the issue. Using KDE, I'm using neither of those; but Firefox keeps beeping (not that I have an issue with the beeping itself - but it should honor GNOME settings). The beep is caused by using XkbBell() (you can trigger that by simply calling xkbbell binary). GTK uses this from gdk_display_beep() and gdb_window_beep(). GNOME uses that from who knows where. So this is entirely a GTK/GNOME issue. Run a debugger on the program that keeps beeping, set a breakpoint on XkbBell(), and run. When the breakpoint is hit, the backtrace tells you what precisely needs to be fixed. -- Use proper sound event instead of system beep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 301174] Re: Use proper sound event instead of system beep
I had sound on a laptop that worked flawlessly (as I experienced) in intrepid, and upon installing jaunty, this behavior appeared. All of the solutions I've seen proposed are not fixes for this bug; blacklisting the pc speaker module, controlling the volume of the pc speaker in a mixer. This bug is the following: I can set an alert sound to be played, I can pick an mp3 or wav in gnome-control-center, and upon triggering the alert sound, all I hear is a beep. I assumed that this is some sort of fall back behavior for when sound isn't installed or configured properly, especially considering, and here's the kicker, that I get absolutely no warning or error message from ubuntu upon trying to select an alert sound. As far as a user is concerned, their audio is working properly (I could still play music from rhythmbox, for example), but for a completely unknown reason, the alert sounds just don't play. There are many duplicates for this bug which propose blacklisting the pc speaker or other such 'workarounds' or 'fixes' for this bug, none of which explain or address why my audio works in some applications, but some part of my system fails to play the alert sound. If someone wants to point me to the bug where this issue is actually being addressed, maybe I'm in the wrong place. Every duplicate I can find, linked to this bug or not, all has the same 'resolution' listed, involving the pc speaker mixer or blacklisting the module completely, and to me, that is not a resolution for this issue. I've been attempting to coral all the users who are experiencing this issue to the same bug report, so that the developers can pin down why this happens, or at the very least explain that it's a fallback behavior, and that it can be caused by any number of issues with the user's installation, which have to be addressed one by one. Right now we have a default install of the ubuntu OS that leads users to believe that their audio is working, but gives them no indication or error message as to why it wont play their selected shutdown or alert sounds (among others?). To me that sounds like a bug. As I said before, I'm not even sure this bug has been assigned to the proper packages or projects. To me it seems highly unlikely that metacity and compiz suffer from the same exact issue and have the same exact fall back procedure. I haven't seen a single definitive response from anyone, developer or not, that explains when and why ubuntu chooses to play a beep instead of the alert sound defined in gnome-control-panel. -- Use proper sound event instead of system beep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 301174] Re: Use proper sound event instead of system beep
Wishlist? No, I think we've lost sight of what issue this bug refers to. I'm not terribly sure it's been assigned to the correct packages, either. In multiple applications, in both metacity and compiz, the computer acts as old computers did when you had no sound card; there are no nifty wav (mp3, ogg, whatever) sounds played, the computer only plays a beep. I'm not sure where the problem lies. We've had confirmation that this happens in transmission, firefox, gnome-terminal and in the GTK+ demo application as well. No one (that I've seen) has confirmed this bug in KDE or any other desktop environment (xfce, openbox etc) than gnome. I find it hard to believe that this is an identical bug in metacity /and/ compiz- it seems more like a setting or library both of them draw upon, like pulseaudio or alsa or the audio system somehow- maybe something gnome related. Regardless (it may be a bug in both compiz and metacity for all I know) this is certainly not a wishlist it is a bug, and a reproducible one at that. A file is set as the default alert sound in the gnome control center sound panel, yet that sound doesn't play, and neither does the selected shutdown sound. I'm not sure why this was changed to a wishlist item. I'm going to give appropriate parties from compiz and metacity (who should be subscribed to this bug) a few days to correctly triage this bug before I set it to confirmed in both compiz and metacity, with importance low (since I'm not one to define priority for other developers). From what I understand of bug triaging, wishlist is for adding non-critical features, not for categorizing when a program fails to act as advertised. For those looking to turn down the volume of or disable the beep altogether, browse the comments of the duplicates of this bug - that has been addressed elsewhere. You can usually find a mixer slider for your speaker sounds and turn that down or mute it completely. The fact that the beep is too loud by default is a completely different bug which has been filed elsewhere, please excuse me for not remembering exactly where or finding it for you right now. I'm just hoping this bug report gets in front of the right people, which I don't think it has yet. -- Use proper sound event instead of system beep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If it is a wm problem then it's also a metacity problem since I have desktop effects disabled. ** Also affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Use proper sound event instead of system beep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
