GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 62447
bell sound controlled by control center
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: control-center Severity: normal Version: 1.5.7 Synopsis: bell sound controlled by control center Bugzilla-Product: control-center Bugzilla-Component: keyboard Description: Before I installed the new control center, the keyboard bell control was set to deliver a short, high pitched sound. After installation, the new control panel indicates that these settings are still in effect; if I click on the test button, I hear the old sound. However, this sound does no longer comes out of the speakers when I, for example, fat-finger a bad emacs control command. Instead, I hear the default Linux bell sound (low pitched and long). It seems like the control center bell setting (under the keyboard icon) is now being completely ignored. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-10-16 11:17 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, tvgm@ximian.com.

I'm not sure if there's been a change in control center or in my ears but I've noticed a slightly different behavior: Now, when the bell sound has been changed in control center to be shorter and higher, I do hear the new sound when I hit the test button. However, the bell sounds caused by emacs errors, for example, by xterm or emacs beeps remain long and low.
punting down, as this is not a GNOME2 bug, and we already have a bug open for this not working. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78016 ***
