Hi,

Also, all others settings in gnome-control-center sound are avaible.
See the screenshot

+1 here for gnome-control-center version 3.24.2-1.

I must admit I use a rather odd bridge created using pulseaudio-jack, pulseaudio-dlna and cadence.

- alsa > pulseaudio > jack

When running `gdb --args gnome-control-center sound` the following warning is printed:
"(gnome-control-center:21913): Gvc-WARNING **: Device did not have an appropriate card"

Output of `pacmd list-sinks`:

The issue I'm experiencing is indeed known; see

For the moment,

to disable sounds effect, I set in a term this :

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/sound/event-sounds "false"

and it works !

For me it didn't.

Only after bypassing the issue described in my previous comment by bypassing the jack pulseaudio module, and thus having a 'normal' pulseaudio sound card available,
I was able to get rid of the annoying sounds.

I guess in my case this is bug in either Cadence in setting up the alsa > pulseaudio > jack bridge or the pulseaudio-jack module.
