Title: Cannot restore default alert sound (Ubuntu bell) Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After changing the default alert sound in Settings > Sound > Sound Effects, I cannot restore the alert sound to the Ubuntu 17.10 default. Gnome Control Center version: 1:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.2 There are five options in the Sound Effects tab: Default, Bark, Drip, Glass and Sonar. Selecting Default gives the same sound as Drip, which is not the default I had before. I think the sound options come from /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts where I found Ogg files for the Bark, Drip, Glass and Sonar options (but not for Default). The /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg seems to have been the original default alert sound, to which I cannot restore. I am not sure if this is related, but when I opened the Sound Effects tab for the first time, the Alert Volume slider was at 0% and grayed out. The alert sound was working fine, so I guess that default settings from elsewhere were in effect until I started adjusting things in this tab and thereby overriding those default settings. I cannot restore to that grayed out state either in this tab.
