2016-05-27 09:30:49 G.M. description Hi, I wanted to disable the firefox "alert" sound... So I searched the web and I found a lot of tips... One of them was about opening "unity-control-center sound" and setting "Mute" in the "Sound Effects" tab. Unfortunately, as soon as I did launch "unity-control-center sound" trouble arose: - I'm listening to music using "jango.com" (i.e. using Firefox+flash plugin) - When the song changes or I reload the page, a new "Firefox" (in fact "CubebUtils") entry appears in the "Applications" tab of "unity-control-center sound". - Unfortunately, this new entry has a volume set to 0. This means that, as soon as "unity-control-center sound" is opened, I have to go set the sound volume at every song change. This does not go away with closing unity-control-center. However, opening unity-control-center has no effect on default volume for mplayer, vlc, etc., only FF/flash... Hi, I wanted to disable the firefox "alert" sound...
