You can configure these in the +System Notifications &kcontrol; module. + +It isn't always possible for the X server to actually make +a beep sound with exactly the parameters selected due to hardware +limitations. For example, on most PCs, volume control is not very good +so the X server seems to fake low volume with a reduced duration of +the sound. Thus, if the settings don't seem to do anything, this is +because the X server and/or the hardware don't support anything +better. + +Users are able to set the following parameters for the bell: + + + volume (percentage of maximum volume) + pitch (in Hz) + duration (in milliseconds) + + +You can use the test button to hear how +the current settings will sound. + +Section Authors +Pat Dowler, Matthias Hoelzer mhk@kde.org +Converted to KDE 2.0 by Mike McBride mpmcbride7@yahoo.com + + + + +
