X11 has its own bell volume setting, controlled with the "xset b" command. If we use that volume, then the "System Sounds" slider in pavucontrol doesn't affect the x11-bell sample volume, which in my opinion is a bad thing. Ignoring the volume suggestion from X11 allows module-stream-restore to apply the "event" role volume. --- src/modules/x11/module-x11-bell.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/modules/x11/module-x11-bell.c b/src/modules/x11/module-x11-bell.c index 6c9f580..59e0513 100644 --- a/src/modules/x11/module-x11-bell.c +++ b/src/modules/x11/module-x11-bell.c @@ -76,7 +76,7 @@ static int x11_event_cb(pa_x11_wrapper *w, XEvent *e, void *userdata) { bne = (XkbBellNotifyEvent*) e; - if (pa_scache_play_item_by_name(u->core, u->scache_item, u->sink_name, ((pa_volume_t) bne->percent*PA_VOLUME_NORM)/100U, NULL, NULL) < 0) { + if (pa_scache_play_item_by_name(u->core, u->scache_item, u->sink_name, PA_VOLUME_INVALID, NULL, NULL) < 0) { pa_log_info("Ringing bell failed, reverting to X11 device bell."); XkbForceDeviceBell(pa_x11_wrapper_get_display(w), bne->device, bne->bell_class, bne->bell_id, bne->percent); } -- 2.10.1
