Thanks for looking into this!

Hmm, yes, I think so.  I'm not sure because it's been an while since I looked
into this problem.  Let me try to recap...

I run this code very time my X-session starts:

pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/window-attention.oga
x11-bell
pactl load-module module-x11-bell sample=x11-bell
xset b 100


I've been doing this for a couple years now and many different fix-ups before
that for this problem which started so very long ago.  So, yes, I think that is
exactly the work-around I've been using.  (Is my command wrong, though?  I'm
not quite using the same sytanx you posted.  Your corrections appreciated.)

However, I don't know why you say module-x11-bell "always" gets loaded.  There
is no reference to module-x11-bell in *my* /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11
script.  (Distro-specific non-standard modification, perhaps?  Old code?)  And,
as you see from my script above, I must load that module manually, myself,
after my session starts; otherwise, upload-sample doesn't fix the problem by
istelf (IIRC).  The module is loaded, now, on my system:

$ pactl list|grep module-x11-bell                              
        Name: module-x11-bell

but, I assume that is because my script loaded it.  I am not confident only
because it's been a while and I haven't bothered to try other things.  But,
that's what I remember.

Let me know if I can help.
