Hello Sam, Sorry for joining this mailing list thread late. At the moment we still do have the default start up sound, although it might not be obvious at the first sight. When one boots Ubuntu Desktop installation CD, one hears the distinct short drums beat. It indicates that the installer has b

Hey all, Thanks for the input. I totally get the importance of sound for users with visual impairment, and I'll definitely keep that in mind while working on these sounds. I think the important factors really lie with the lightdm sound to let the user know the computer is booted up. Specifica

I appreciate the thought you've put into the login sound, and especially that you bring an expert's insight into the sort of sonic atmospheres that can evoke the feelings we desire.

Hey Winael, Here's my take on startup sounds: Music can obviously have a profound effect on people. Advertising agencies know this, and use it quite effectively in some cases. Jingles are tied to brands in order to affect a particular mood in the listener, to create a positive association wit

Hi Sam, First, Thx for your work and it's good to see that's you want to contribute to Ubuntu I don't think a music is a good idea for a startup sound. The startup sound have to be short. It's more... a sound. So the work to do is more like sound design. But I join Sid idea about a ringtone for

Hey Rick! To be clear, I'm a composer, not a sound designer, so when I say "startup sounds," I'm thinking something musical. I'll leave the UI sounds and other alert sounds to someone more capable. Unless of course, they all take a musical route. :) I could just whip up some stuff and submit
