Disable alert sounds in 19.04

  • 772

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?

sound system-settings

    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
