Public bug reported:
After changing the default alert sound in Settings > Sound > Sound
Effects, I cannot restore the alert sound to the Ubuntu 17.10 default.
Gnome Control Center version: 1:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.2
There are five options in the Sound Effects tab: Default, Bark, Drip,
Glass and Sonar. Selecting Default gives the same sound as Drip, which
is not the default I had before.
I think the sound options come from
/usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts where I found Ogg files for the
Bark, Drip, Glass and Sonar options (but not for Default). The
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg seems to have been the original
default alert sound, to which I cannot restore.
I am not sure if this is related, but when I opened the Sound Effects
tab for the first time, the Alert Volume slider was at 0% and grayed
out. The alert sound was working fine, so I guess that default settings
from elsewhere were in effect until I started adjusting things in this
tab and thereby overriding those default settings. I cannot restore to
that grayed out state either in this tab.
