In fact there is such an option. But its not visible in the current UI.

soundVolume = 0.5

the default is 0.5 (its half as loud as your system settings)

you can set it via the orca-customizations.py file with the following code:

#<filecontent>

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import orca.orca
import orca.settings

#set it to 75 percent of the system volume
orca.settings.soundVolume = 0.75

#</filecontent>

 

cheers chrys

hay there,
in essence you are saying,
when beeping on left speaker, = 0%, and when it is completely on the
write hand side of the speakers it =100%?
sounds like a good plan!
could the beeps be louder?
or a option to make the beep volume louder or quiter be added?
I can see it as a usefull option
say you are in lesson, and you have your orca voice volume lo,
you would hear the beeps louder. ware as if you were able to change
the volume of the beeps independantly of orca's voice would be ausom
:)

thanks,
Majid Hussain
