Annoying beeps

Rate this Message:
Hi everyone,
I recently installed a new system and got almost deaf by my laptop's annoying beep of the pc speaker. There are a lot of ways to disable it, but shouldn't this get fixed in the right way? I can't help but image showing a brand new Linux system to a bunch of people with Compiz, and all these video and audio capabilities, virtualizing Windows and what not, but hit backspace in the wrong location and BEEP! Straight to the 80's. Shouldn't something in GNOME map XBeep or whatever to something more appropriate? Best regards. -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ gnome-multimedia mailing list gnome-multimedia@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-multimedia |

It doesn't surprise me, who would test such a thing? I would guess 90% of the people disable it, so why is it enabled by default in the first place? And I bet no one would disagree with a nice error sound instead.

Cool, but what if the system doesn't have PulseAudio? -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ gnome-multimedia mailing list gnome-multimedia@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-multimedia |

Well, I have pulseaudio, I guess it's not enabled by default. In any case, I left the pcspkr module on to force myself into reporting this issue, but today is the last time I will let myself hear that horrible sound. If you are interested there's bug #539729.
