Debian Sid x64 Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 30 05:20:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux ThinkPad X220 XFCE pavucontrol 0.99.2-1 pulseaudio 1.1-3.2 xfce4 4.8.0.3
Steps to reproduce:
- Open pavucontrol
- Move volume sliders back and forth on an attached sink with speakers hooked up
- Observe
Expected results: Volume changes with no audible feedback.
Actual results: Volume changes and a bubble/water popping sounds constantly plays.
Notes: The sound seems very intentional and almost mimicy of other particular operating systems that have also implemented feedback during volume change. The pop plays only when I adjust the volume of sinks, both local and networked, from pavucontrol. It doesn't play if I adjust the audio in any other way, such as through the media buttons above my keyboard, or any other volume control app.
After some searching and poking around I'm under the impression this item, if a feature, is undocumented. Regardless, it would be great if pavucontrol had an option to completely disable this feedback sound, that or the sound disappeared all together.
Thanks.
