Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I installed Intrepid fresh onto this laptop (HP Pavilion dv9540us), and
the alert sounds don't play. Instead, whenever I make one of the rather
common mistakes that cause an alert sound (such as hitting backspace one
too many times), there's a very loud, and very annoying, beep from the
internal speaker.
If I go to system->preferences->sound, where I would expect to disable
the annoying beep, I find that the System Beep tab is now gone. I agree
with this decision - this is 2008, we should never be using the internal
speaker for anything. Especially not shutdown noises, where it's not
even obvious how to disable it.
After googling, however, I found that many others have this problem, and
strangely enough the solution is to click "disable alert sounds" even
though the alert sound itself never plays.
So, there are two bugs here then:
1) The nice alert sound isn't used at all. I've never heard it in Ubuntu, only
annoying PC speaker beeps.
2) We use the PC speaker instead of the alert sound, and disabling the PC
speaker is difficult since we no longer have the system beep tab.
