Title: no audible warning of high volume level Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Triaged Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Additional to the work done on bug 1373404, I think we need to consider adding an audio warning when the volume crosses the threshold value. The way android works is that the user is asked if they want to allow higher volume levels (they must click "ok"). Our approach is to just display a visual warning. That's fine (assuming it complies with all legal regs), but it isn't helpful from an accessibility perspective. Obviously folk can hear when levels become painful high, but how about we insert an audible warning when the user crosses the threshold? I'd suggest we do both of the following to indicate an audible warning: 1) Mute (or atleast lower) the currently playing audio streams. 2) Play two beeps in quick succession (at the original volume level prior to mute/lowering). Once the beeps have been played, the volume level will be restored to the appropriate (higher) level.
