I use short beep tone in X.org. I want to keep sound muted (or at minimum volume) except the beep. I use ALSA. I need beep from xterm or applications that beep using X.org (xscreensaver).



How can I turn off all sound except beep from ALSA?










share|improve this question

























  • Do you mean a PC speaker beep, or a beep using an ALSA/Pulseaudio device? Which application produces the beep, and how does it produce it (ALSA library, Pulseaudio library, some other library)?

    i got a question and i dont know how to explain it



    when i play video or music i don get audio sound but
    if i make beep sound then i can hear the music or the video
    i figured this started to happen since an update i reinstalled and still get the problem
    but before the computer used to play audio properly
    note.
    my computer uses the speaker to play the system beep
    from where i figure the pulse audio its missunderstanding the speaker with a a buzzer
