<title>Flash the screen for alert sounds</title>
+
+ <p>Your computer will play a simple alert sound for certain types of
+ messages and events. If you have a hard time hearing these sounds, you
+ can have either the entire screen or your current window visually flash
+ whenever the alert sound is played.</p>
+
+ <p>This can also be useful if you're in an environment where you need your
+ computer to be silent, such as in a library. See <link xref="sound-alert"/>
+ to learn how to mute the alert sound, then enable visual alerts.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <item><p>Click your name in the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Click <gui>Universal Access</gui>.</p></item>
+ <item><p>On the <gui>Hearing</gui> tab, switch on <gui>Visual Alerts</gui>.
+ Select whether you want the entire screen or just your current window
+ to flash.</p></item>

<title>Choose or disable the alert sound</title>

+ <p>Your computer will play a simple alert sound for certain types of
+ messages and events. You can choose different sound clips for alerts,
+ set the alert volume independently of your system volume, or disable
+ alert sounds entirely.</p>

+ <item><p>On the <gui>Sound Effects</gui> tab, select an alert sound. Each sound
+ will play when you click on it so you can hear what it sounds like.</p></item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>Use the volume slider on the <gui>Sound Effects</gui> tab to set
+ the volume of the alert sound. This won't affect the volume of your
+ music, movies, and other audio playback.</p>
+
+ <p>To disable alert sounds entirely, just select <gui>Mute</gui>.</p>
