Description Nate Graham 2022-03-15 22:54:55 UTC

If you check "Custom sound" and specify a sound, that sound is played *in addition* to the system's horrible pcspkr beep noise, rather than replacing it. It should replace it, as there's not much point in playing both.

...On X11 at least; on Wayland I hear nothing at all when I do something that plays the audible bell, like searching for "kjfdslkjdsflkjs" in Firefox. That's probably a separate issue.

[kaccess] Always suppress audible X11 bell

X11 by default produces a horrible beep, which we allow to override with a custom sound.

The current code however only suppresses the default beep if 'Audible bell' is disabled,
not when a custom sound is enabled.

Always disable it so that we get full control over the sound
