Hi.
I have not been able to get the bell to work in bash. Audio does work with vlc.
I have tried: echo -e "\007" but -e is not allowed.
I have tried both: printf "\007" and printf "\a".
Has anyone made the bell work in bash?
Thanks
-Ken

You will need to go to the Sound Preferences and set the Sound theme to default.

Ericbsd,
Sorry, I can not find the item you referenced me to. Where would "Sound Preferences" appear? Under what menu?

Ken,
FYI
I did not find Sound in the Preferences menu either, but assuming it was there somewhere, I looked under All instead, and there was a Sound item there. From there the directions worked for me.

My bad I just looked back and it is under Sound & Video.

I have neither of those. I am on 23.08.30. See attachment.
Re: Bell not working iin bash
Interesting. I do have Sound & Video, and it is in there too.
I'm running the Mate desktop environment. Please excuse the windowy Chicago theme (assuming the attachment works, which after 5 tries so far it doesn't seem to like it).

You are running XFCE. In that case, noting I have might apply.Ken E Unix wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 9:38 am I have neither of those. I am on 23.08.30. See attachment.
When XFCE is not mentioned, I assume that it is MATE.
Re: Bell not working iin bash
Ken, Does your XFCE menu come back with any utils when you search for 'sound'? (I'm not familiar with the XFCE desktop and the utils installed, so I can't suggest.)Ken E Unix wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 9:38 am I have neither of those. I am on 23.08.30. See attachment.

Ken,
This discussion...

...suggests that there may not be as much in the way of sound utils in XFCE, but that right-clicking on the Volume control in the tray (it it is present?) may give you access to some more settings.

PS -- its an Arch linux forum discussing XFCE, so I don't know if it will help you or not.
