Sorry (again) for the late reply. I just got an opportunity to install a fresh ubuntu 19.04, so I thought I would give a try to the patch... But on this fresh install, I do not have the problem... (without even enabling proposed packaged).
I don't even understand *why* the x11-bell module is *not* loaded... (I did install the ubuntu-sounds package, as this is a condition in start-pulseaudio-x11). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827842 Title: pulseaudio should not load module-x11-bell in gnome-shell Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio source package in Disco: Fix Committed Bug description: * Impact The package force load a bell sound which can conflicts with the user configuration * Test case - Enable a login sound in session - Login into a GNOME/Ubuntu session -> the configured sound should be played * Regression potential Try other desktop environments to make sure their login sound behaviour isn't changed, it shouldn't since the customization dropped was specific to the Ubuntu sound theme ------------------- The package `pulseaudio` installs a startup script in `/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop`, which itself runs `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`, which loads a number of x11 related modules in `pulseaudio`. One of these modules is `module-x11-bell`, which makes `pulseaudio` play a sound each time a system bell is emitted (usually by terminal applications, such as bash or vim). This is redundant with gnome-shell, which is also able to handle the system bell (through the gsetting key `org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds`). The gnome system bell is directly configurable by the user (Settings > Sound), so it should be preferred over pulseaudio's own system bell. I suggest to patch the `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`, to avoid loading `start-pulseaudio-x11` if it detects it is running in Gnome Shell (e.g. if GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is set).
