hi
Really? I've seen a few very obscure pieces of hardware that doesn't
work properly with pulse, but for the vast majority, including a mac
that I have occasional access to it works fine. Not to say pulse
doesn't have issues, it does. Back on topic, there really should be a
beep volume just as there is a speech volume, and preferably in the
same place, the voice tab. I don't know how difficult or easy this is
to implement so I'm not going to say it'll be easy but it should
certainly be an option. I'm excited to see this in official orca, I've
been wanting this for years. NVDA's implementation is pretty good
though I like our beeps better, they don't get nearly as high pitched,
so mellisa doesn't complain and bug me to turn them off lol.
Thanks
Kendell clark
