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.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
