[Bug 280625] [NEW] Applications use the PC speaker beep for alerts altough a sound file is set up in sound settings

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Steps to reproduce :
(make sure that alerts are on in sounds settings and that an existing wave file is set up for the alert sound)

In Firefox
1) Ctrl+F 
2) Type anything that doesn't exist in the current page

In gnome-terminal
1) use tab-completion on something that doesn't exist

In transmission
1) select one torrent in the download list
2) press bottom arrow on your keyboard multiple times until reaching the end of the list


Expected result :
1) The sound defined for alerts in System/Preferences/sounds is played

Actual result :
1) An alert from the PC speaker is heard (beep)

Workaround :
If you uncheck "Enable alert sound", the PC speaker is not heard anymore, but neither is the defined sound.
