[Bug 45577] Re: gnome-sound-properties: No easy way to control volume of system sounds

[M]

Please also consider users who are wearing headphones...I'm on a laptop
and the system beep is painfully loud over headphones, and despite
removing it with sudo rmmod pcspkr, it returns when I boot.  I'm told
adding "rmmod pcspkr" to /etc/rc.local will remove it completely, but
this is the kind of thing that Ubuntu should get right out-of-the-box.
If I was a new user and didn't love Ubuntu already, this deafening beep
over headphones would make me switch back to whatever OS I was using
previously in a heartbeat.  Let those who want it go to the console to
enable it rather than putting off new users by having to figure out how
to disable it.
