The K Desktop Environment

7.2. Sound System

Using the sound system panel, you can easily adjust settings to the sound output KDE and its applications produce.

7.2.1. Bell

KDE generates various warning signals, called beeps, when you make a mistake (e.g. copying a file into a folder you do not have access to). You can adjust the settings for these beeps here:

Volume

Sets the volume of the beep. You can set it from 0% (no beep) to 100% (you should think carefully before making a mistake after setting this...)

Pitch

Adjusts the frequency of the tone. Ranges go from 0 (no beep) up to 2000 (you should not set this unless you have no pets like dogs or bats.)

Duration

Tells KDE how long the tone is played.
