http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hey guys, there appeared a problem with my Fedora 17 (3.6.9-2.fc17.x86_64), quite a fresh installation (1 month), but I'm almost sure it wasn't there from the beginning. The problem is that when the system beep sound plays (e.g. when you press Tab in terminal while there is more then one option to be filled in), my screen once shortly blinks in black. It does not depend on the application initiating the sound. I tried to turn off the alert sounds in system sound settings (System Settings - Sound - Sound Effects - Alert volume). The result is strange - since then the sounds are not played eve (HowTos)

Stories similar to Fedora 17 screen blinks on beep

Iv'e read a lot of People are having problems with the system sounds don't play. I can play sounds when going into ; System Settings\sound\ sound effect tab There are no options here to select sound themes or anything like that. This plays sounds and I can listen to music, youtube..

I'm using Fedora 11, kde desktop, and the alsa sound system, everything completely up-to-date via yum. Sound works with the exception that in order to get a reasonable volume from my applications (any applications), I need to set the master volume so high that the system sounds, like login/logoff chimes, are soooo loud I'm worried I'm going to wreck my speakers.

Hi,

Hi all,

I use Fedora 11. If anything goes wrong (say, clicking on an icon thrice or if an error msg pops up saying "You havent selected a user"), a strange beep...beep... sound starts. It stays until i restart my OS. Is there any refresh (like F5 in windows) option in Fedora?. Wt could be the problem?. Do i hv to re-install OS to sort out this??. Plzz help!

[gnome] Sound Issue 3 years 32 weeks ago

Can anyone tell me why the default "BEEP" plays when there is a different sound associated with an action? I have the Ubuntu sound profile set and when in the selection of sounds list, where you can choose what sound to associate with what action, the right sound plays.

the error alert sounds are really loud..is there any way i can turn it off?for example,when i was editing a message in Pidgin, i moved the cursor to the end of the line..it comes out a big LOUD BEEP...XD, i've been fed up with that.Thx in advance.

I'm using a LinearLayout (with some views inside) for representing the sound On/Off button in the Settings screen.

When I set the OnClickListener to this Layout it automatically plays the system "onClick" sound when clicked.

I'd like to play the sound only when the sound is going from 'NoSound' to 'Sound'. How can I supress the sound in the other case?

I am trying to remove or mute the Firefox sound (The BOOM sound and the Quick Drum sound) when:

I try to close Firefox with multiple Tabs A download fails Any other case where that HORRIBLE heart killing sound pops up

I read several ways to do this but all involve either lowering the sound of firefox via the System Settings, or lowering the overall sound of the system, both of which I do not w
