Title: Volume notifications over multimedia content are annoying Status in The Sound Menu: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Released Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This doesn't work today, but assuming bug 1378920 gets fixed the user experience will be: You're playing a video. You hit the volume up key. The audio of your program will be reduced, the alert sound will play, and then the volume of the program will be restored. As you're trying to hear the program, this goes directly against what you're trying to do. Possible solutions: - No audio or even visual notifications when multimedia is active - Visual but no audio notifications when multimedia is active - Visual but no audio when anything but alert is active (phone, alarm, etc.) - No change, this is desired behavior <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#notification>: "When the primary sound output changes for any reason except an app request, or when the sound volume changes for any reason, a confirmation bubble should appear ... In addition, *if* audio is not currently playing through the multimedia role, a subtle noise should play for you to gauge the change in volume."
