I've been using GNOME for years and found you have to go out of your way |
| 15 |
to turn on those annoying sounds in GNOME (explicitly install |
| 16 |
gnome-audio, enable the sound server, then enable sounds). In Pidgin |
| 17 |
sounds can be disabled simply by going to Preferences/Sounds/Method and |
| 18 |
selecting "No Sounds". |
