Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-05-23 16:05:48 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/116296

"Enabling under

"System > Preferences > Accessibiltiy > Keyboard Accessibiltiy > Filters > Only accept keys hold for x milliseconds"

the options

"Beep when key is pressed / accepted / rejected"

doesn't have an effect. These options don't work. I can't hear a sound when a keystroke is accepted etc. I and another user tested this on a uptodate Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on two different machines. All audio mixers are set to max and beeps inside gnome-terminal work fine.

I can confirm the behaviour, but I'm not sure we can do anything about it (short of removing the options). As far as I can make out, these settings are simply passed on for the X server to handle.
Comment 2 Christoph Langner 2007-11-01 19:28:39 UTC 
The bug is still relevant for GNOME 2.20
Comment 3 Christoph Langner 2008-10-04 16:29:55 UTC 
And still relevant for GNOME 2.24...
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-02 17:26:04 UTC 
The window manager is supposed to be the one beeping.

If this is still current, make sure metacity (or mutter for GNOME 3) is compiled with libcanberra support.

For older versions, you'll want to make sure the bell is set to be audible in metacity (/apps/metacity/general/audible_bell set to TRUE).

If you use another window manager, it just won't work...
