Bug Description
xbiff fails to beep, although xkbbell works fine
I am new to both Ubuntu (12.04) and pulseaudio (1:1.1-
When trying to get the console beep working, I found extensive discussion of
* failure to get a hardware beep;
* failure to get an X beep;
I don't believe either of those is the problem I am having (unless there are 2 kinds of X beeps).
I am *not* trying to get a hardware beep (via pcspkr).
I *have* already implemented the fix described (among other places) at:
https:/
namely to run the commands:
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/
pactl load-module module-x11-bell sample=bell.ogg
This works fine, allowing xkbbell (and hence xterm and emacs) to beep properly.
But xbiff still fails to beep.
I don't know whether this is a bug in xbiff, pulseaudio-
Thanks,
