How to disable system sounds in Ubuntu 19.04?
Solution 1:
This question has been answered here
To disable alert sounds on Ubuntu 19.04 you could install dconf editor, either from terminal or from activities/software center. From terminal
sudo apt install dconf-editor
Next, launch
dconf editor
and navigate toorg/gnome/desktop/sound/event-sounds
and flip the switch tooff
alternatively, click on event-sounds and set custom value toFalse
Solution 2:
If sound files for system events are stored in org/gnome/desktop/sound/event-sounds
, you could mv
those files to a different location. for example: .../event-sounds-backup
. Allowing you to easily put them back where the system expects them to be.
Or just delete the event-sounds
directory if you're positive you will NEVER want to hear them, without having to re-install them.
Not an elegant solution, but no sound files means no sound can be played.
