GNOME 2: how to turn off annoying sound that plays every time you click something (Linux Ubuntu 10.04)
June 14th, 2012
Recently, I ran some updates and my theme automagically changed. This is annoying, but I need to go to work, so I’ll have to look into it later. However, I can’t possibly leave the house without at least disabling the annoying little clicks that make noise every time I click something. Here’s what I did:
- Go to:
System -> Preferences -> Sound - Find the drop-down box entitled ‘Sound theme’.
- Choose ‘No sounds’.
- Enjoy the sound of silence….
(Also, I made sure the mute button for ‘Alert volume’ was ticked, just in case.)
I’m running Ubuntu 10.04 and GNOME 2.30.2 on this machine. (Yeah, yeah, I know I need to upgrade, but I’m avoiding GNOME 3. I watched the SO struggle with Mint for awhile, and am considering The Next Step. But that’s another rant/post.)
