Lowering the volume isn't the right answer for this bug since for example the live / installer dvd could be used in places where silence is wanted. I don't have any hot keys on my laptop to control volume and even if I did, I would still need to know and remember that there will be a sound so I could react on it.
I am suggesting that either booting and login have no sounds as default or that there should be an option in the media boot menu which mutes sounds. I think latter option is better. -- Loud startup noise during boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/45739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
