Hi, Darragh: At last. Someone else who thinks the default pitch of the Ctrl-G beep is too shrill! I've been tweaking mine for years, to some degree of scorn from some--but I diagress. setterm is your friend on this point. I use the following via my .bashrc: setterm -bfreq 55 This gives me an A you could tune to. Darragh writes: > Is it possible to change the volume of the sounds heard while using the Bash prompt? When I for example hit the back space at the start of a line I hear a very loud beep. This beep is great but In an office environment I'd like it to be a bit lower. > > Oh by the way, I got speakup working during the weekend. I have some more tweeking to do before I'll say I have it working for definit but its looking good. I have a few things disabled in the kernel at the moment and I'm going to re-enable them one by one to see what if any is causing the problem. > > Darragh > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Bringing the Owasys 22C screenless cell phone to the U.S. and Canada.
