[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
Sorry for digging out this report, but why not simply add an additional 'noaudio' option to the F6 menu?

There is ongoing work in upstream git to hint udev with correct mixer levels. In the future, this work will replace the existing hackish initscript functions to set various mixer element levels to a fairly arbitrary 80% (since 80% really means nothing uniform). -- Loud startup noise during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
Would it be possible to postpone playing the startup sound until "gnome- volume-manager" is verified to be loaded and running? Sometimes I get stung by the startup sound when I take my laptop to a quiet environment. I have hotkeys on my laptop that can mute and change volume, but they don't work until the volume applet has loaded. It would be nice to be able to hit the mute button upon hearing the loud startup sound and have it respond immediately. Often, though, the sound has already completed by the time the volume applet responds. -- Loud startup noise during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
The nosound parameter is a good suggestion, and it would be a fix for
the users who install Ubuntu.
However, the problem comes in with the bootabled CD ("LiveCD") version
of Ubuntu--which most users cannot change. The bootable CD image has the
loud startup sound enabled. Instead of forcing users to remember to boot
a special way in order to avoid the sound, the sound should be disabled
by default.

[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
I actually do agree with Tommi Asiala. Lowering the volume is one thing, but I personally would rather actually not have a startup sound at all. Startup sounds are /so/ 1984. :) But that's something marketing-related, I'll discuss this with the Ubuntu art team later to see if we should open up a bug report considering this. -- Loud startup noise during boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/45739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
Lowering the volume isn't the right answer for this bug since for example the live / installer dvd could be used in places where silence is wanted. I don't have any hot keys on my laptop to control volume and even if I did, I would still need to know and remember that there will be a sound so I could react on it. I am suggesting that either booting and login have no sounds as default or that there should be an option in the media boot menu which mutes sounds. I think latter option is better. -- Loud startup noise during boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/45739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still too loud. It's 80% now, no idea if that's changed.

[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
I would like to second (third?) this one, too. I downloaded Ubuntu for use as an "Internet Freedom Disk" for secure browsing at work; my company has outsourced our payroll and now you have to login to your retirement account in order to see your pay stub--but the company does not provide even one single secure workstation to use for the purpose. unfortunately, I will not be able to use this version of Ubuntu for my Internet Freedom Disk, because the startup sound BLARES OUT and disturbs everyone in my office. Because the user will often have no way to control the volume at start up, you should really avoid using any startup sound. Please notify me if in future Ubuntu Live CD's are available with no startup sound. -- Loud startup noise during boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/45739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot
I'm seconding this request. The volume on the edgy knot-3 LiveCD and (later) installed version is on 100%, and I just find it highly annoying, though it could even be hurtful to people with sensitive hearing or might damage the speakers. The Gnome startup is so fast these days that I can press the volume hotkeys really quickly, but you still hear at least a third of the startup sound at maximum volume till the laptop reacts. It should be 40% or 50%, as michiel said. -- Loud startup noise during boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/45739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
