Version: 3.4.2 Level "b" (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0) Compiler: Target: x86_64-suse-linux OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13-15.7-default The placement of the options affecting the system bell is extremely bad. I've just spent some time working out why the settings of Sound&Multimedia->SystemBell->Volume/Pitch/Duration do absolutely nothing. After some googling it's clear quite a few people have this problem: there's another tab under Regional&Accessibility->Accessibility->Bell, which also needs to be ticked. But how the noise sounds is still determined by Sound&Multimedia. This is crazy. Can you keep this together somehow, please? Suitable cross-references might be used to advantage (but reorder the tabs first!). Thanks!
I agree. At the very least, the option in Accessibility ("Use system bell") should be mirrored in Sound and Multimedia -> System Bell. As is, it is possible to create an inconsistent state. I am using 3.5.5: To reproduce: 1. In Accessibility -> Bell, uncheck "Use system bell", Apply, check "Use system bell", then Apply once more. 2. In Sound & Multimedia -> System Bell, uncheck "Use system bell instead of notification". Apply. 3. Go back to Accessibility -> Bell . It will be unchecked. Expected results: Both "Use system bell" options are unchecked, so one would expect the system bell to be disabled. Instead, it is still enabled.
People are much more likely to look for this option under Sound & Multimedia than under Accessibility.
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Kcontrol has been replaced by System Settings in Plasma. Please give the latest version of that a try, and open a new bug in "systemsettings" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
