Switching off alert sounds in LXDE

Post by Grum »

I cannot find a way to switch off alert sounds in Preferences. I find it really distracting when listening to music to have a beep when an application error or warning dialog pops up.

Is there some hidden file I can edit?

OK I found a way. In:

.config/lxsession/Mint-LXDE/desktop.conf

Change:

Code: Select all

iNet/EnableEventSounds=1
iNet/EnableInputFeedbackSounds=1
to:

Code: Select all

iNet/EnableEventSounds=0
iNet/EnableInputFeedbackSounds=0
These will take effect on the next login.
