System Sounds

Since my latest upgrade a few months ago I find that system sounds in xfce4 knock me off my chair. Things like changing a setting in the print dialog, etc. send a drum sound out which is way to loud. I looked at the audio mixer (Pulse audio volume control) but don't see anything there. Other apps (rhythmbox, etc) seem to be fine.

Re: System Sounds

On the playback tab, there is a "System Sounds" slider. This volume control affects these system sounds and you should be able to control thier volule from here.

Re: System Sounds

Thanks. I guess it needed to be reset. It was turned down to 0 and was loud. I just turned it up to around 20 and it is fine. I just never bothered to try it before since it was at 0. Thanks.
