Nominating for Gnome-Desktop, since this issue appears to be system-wide throughout Gnome. With "Play Alert Sound" enabled in Preferences -> Sound, ALL applications that generate an alert causes the system beep to be used instead of the user-defined alert sound, even if the chosen sound is valid.
This is the 21st century. The ONLY time system beep should ever be used is when the normal sound system (OSS, ALSA, whatever) has completely failed and the system has no other means of indicating alerts. -- Applications use the PC speaker beep for alerts altough a sound file is set up in sound settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
