Ability to control audible alert volume

[lamyergeier]

Normally my volume is 100%, but I would like the alert to have lesser volume say 50%. Is it possible if you could provide a setting in GUI to change the volume of alert?

I would also like this. The alarm doesn't last long enough to catch it in system settings.

The audible alert plugin is using aplay to play the sound. aplay does not have an option to control the volume. I'm looking at alternatives to control the volume.

simply playing a test sound long enough would suffice - then we could reduce the application-specific volume in the settings. How about a button in the settings that plays a melody?

I agree, the beeps are too loud, when I have volume turned up for quieter media. Had to disable them completely.

@slgobinath Is there any progress on this? The loud notifications sound, just leaves me startled all the time.

Until this feature is implemented, is it possible to mute SafeEyes completely? I am using Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04)

Please! the loud bang really annoys me as I am always on earphones!

@anishmittal2020 As I mentioned, I simply have the chime turned off. So yes, it is possible to mute SafeEyes completely, just look in your options...
