Disable alert sounds in 19.04
According to this page, which is written for 19.04, I'm supposed to disable alert sounds by switching the alert volume to off. However, if I go to Settings > Sound, I only see the following:
I see no Alert Volume setting. Any other way to disable the alert sounds?
Using dconf editor
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 to org/gnome/desktop/sound/event-sounds
and flip the switch to off
- alternatively, click on event-sounds
and set custom value to False
Using the terminal
From terminal without installing dconf editor
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false
