Public bug reported:
Hi,
I wanted to disable the firefox "alert" sound... So I searched the web
and I found a lot of tips...
One of them was about opening "unity-control-center sound" and setting
"Mute" in the "Sound Effects" tab.
Unfortunately, as soon as I did launch "unity-control-center sound"
trouble arose:
- I'm listening to music using "jango.com" (i.e. using Firefox+flash plugin)
- When the song changes or I reload the page, a new "Firefox" (in fact
"CubebUtils") entry appears in the "Applications" tab of "unity-control-center
sound".
- Unfortunately, this new entry has a volume set to 0.
This means that, as soon as "unity-control-center sound" is opened, I
have to go set the sound volume at every song change. This does not go
away with closing unity-control-center.
However, opening unity-control-center has no effect on default volume
for mplayer, vlc, etc., only FF/flash...
Fortunately, it disappears with a reboot, but it is VERY annoying
