Thank you for your bug report, the issue sounds similar to bug #1827842 , could you try editing /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 to remove the loading of x11-bell (like in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio- dev/pulseaudio/commit/?id=227d3ade) and tell us if that resolves your issue?
** No longer affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834807 Title: Two alert sounds playing at the same time Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: One is the alert sound chosen through GNOME's sound settings, the other seems to be the default alert from the sound theme, which we can't change without using dconf-editor. When an alert sound is triggered, both sounds play at the same time instead of one. Things I've tried: - Disabled/muted the alert sound from GNOME Settings. This mutes both of the alert sounds. I expect only one to play. - Switched through different alert sounds in GNOME Settings. Problem persists. - Logged out and back in. Problem persists. How to reproduce: - Go to GNOME Settings, select the Sound category, go to the tab Sound Effects and select any of the alert sounds in the list. - Make sure sounds are not muted. - Test it by opening a terminal window and pressing Backspace without typing any other characters. This will produce the sound. Running Ubuntu 18.04.2, up-to-date, fresh install. See attached log file.
