** Description changed: It's unbelievable the level of OBVIOUS idiocy that I see myself forced to report. This one is absolutely demential. When you hit the volume +/- keys to turn the volume up and down, a short sound plays so you can get an idea of how loud you are setting the volume (and also you get confirmation that it works). I love that. Let's leave aside the fact that you should be able to turn this feature on or off individually if you wanted to without turning off ALL system sounds, but I don't care about that because I do want this feature. Now, OBVIOUSLY, the maximum volume of these sounds should be fixed, and the final volume at which they play should be multiplied only by the current output volume, and NOT also by the system sounds volume that you set in Settings => Sound => System sounds. For example, I have reduced the System Sounds volume a lot because the "thud" sound that plays (for example) when you hit the tab key in a terminal is ridiculously loud. However, because of this idiocy, the two are linked, so now, when I use the volume keys to set the overall output volume, the testing volume - sounds are super dim because they are affected by the System Sounds + sounds are super quiet because they are affected by the System Sounds volume. They are meant to allow you to test the overall global output volume, so their scale must always be 100%. You should be able to turn them on and off, and it would be nice to have an individual volume for them alone, but to have them linked to the general System Sounds volume is just idiotic. Guys I'm getting tired of reporting bugs that are painfully idiotic design decisions. I cannot believe the people taking design decisions in Gnome and/or Ubuntu are so fucking clueless. This is pathetic. For fuck's sake.
