I have to say that one of the ridiculously small 12 reasons that led me to abandon Ubuntu (& return to Windows XP, not happily) was the jarring beep described here. It was especially antagonizing when I was playing Solitaire as my last act before heading to bed, using the rote click- click-click to stupefy my attention and relax; except that clicking an already clicked card caused this loud shrieking bleep, which rather defeated the purpose of the game for me.
I only tried 10 or 20 times to figure out how I could fix or change this. Apparently, using GUIs since 1985 was insufficient preparation for smooth Ubuntu use and after twelve months I admitted my Linux devotion was inadequate to the demand for mastering Linux obscurities. -- Overuse of system beep without volume control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
