Firefox and sound effects

How can I disable sound effects in Firefox?
For example, when right-clicking a link and clicking "open in a new tab" I hear a click. When closing a window with multiple tabs open I get a something like a "blip".
I'm using KDE and I have all other sound notifications disabled. No KDE application plays sound notifications, only Firefox does. I guess it could be related to Gnome, but I don't know how to turn the sounds of as I'm not using Gnome.

Thanks for your answer. I actually searched before starting this thread and didn't find anything, but it seems there was a thread about it anyhow.
I tried Google too, but found nothing really helpful. However this was here on Arch BBS:

Editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0
and adding the following line to it:
gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
and then restarting ff3.6 DOES turn the sound off, but it will turn off sound for ALL gtk apps.
Seems that has to do for now, unless somebody can give a different solution.

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

    Most movies have Dolby surround sound. Seems like you don't have all sound channels coming out of your speakers.
    Is the AppleTV connected to a receiver or to a TV?
    If you have a receiver that supports dolby surround you should configure the sound settings of the Apple TV and receiver accordingly.
    If it's connected to a TV the audio setting "Dolby Digital" in the Apple TV should be set to off.

  • Line out and Sound Effects revert to Internal Speakers when I reboot. Any suggestions?

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro that runs fine under Yosemite. The Sound preference panel worked under Mavericks, but now I must open the Sound panel and manually change the output for both Output and Sound Effects from Internal Speakers to Line Out after a reboot. This is irritating and is becoming more so.
    I've zapped the PRAM with no success.
    Would an AppleScript app on startup work? I can't seem to find any appropriate commands in AppleScript that affect these parameters.
    Any help appreciated.

    The script doesn't seem to work on Yosemite. Trolling around in the library, it appears that "audio" is now "sound," which would explain the file not found.
    Or am I missing something?
    Suggestions?

    If you go to ~(username)->Library->Sounds you can add your audio files there. They need to be in .aiff if they're not already.

  • Tilting, Volume Buttons and Sound Effects icon problem.

    Every time I tilt my iPad while using it on a flat surface the volume button is contacted and the Sound Effects icon appears.  This is a very poor design in my opinion.  It drives me crazy!!  Any workarounds?

        knothead997cdp - I know that with the iPhone, they say there is an app for everything, but causing you headaches isn't one of them! Judging from the multiple issues you are describing, the master reset is definitely the best course of action to take. You may always stop by at your closest Apple Store for a second opinion. In all honesty, it just sounds like the update went corrupt somewhere. Starting clean should take care of it!
    Let us know how it goes. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!
    Thank you knothead997cdp, take care!

  • What does the "Music and Sound Effects", "Photos", "Titles", etc. buttons turn grey and make unelectable?

    I'm on into my first steps in iMovie 11 and I try to apply the things from the "Getting started" video tutorials. However when I come to the "import photos from iPhoto" I find all my buttons grey and unelectable. I checked preferences but I didn't find any parameter which relates to that topic.
    I'm sure someone knows and I'd appreciate help on this.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to maintain transition effects and sound when transferring PPT to Keynote ?

    When transferring Powerpoint presentations created on my windows 7 laptop to Keynote to display on my I Pad retina, I lose all transition and sound effects. Is there a solution to this ?

    In the Document tab of the Inspector, select "Self-Playing" under Presentation and enter '0' (zero) for the delay times.
    Now when you export to QuickTime, you will have another option in the drop-down: "Fixed Timing." (this will represent the timings you have set within the presentation. Ignore the 1-second timings, they appear to have no bearing on the finished export.)
    Check "Include Slideshow Soundtrack."
    From the Formats drop-down, go to "Custom..." and select "Mix Audio" from the Audio drop-down.
    ("Copy Audio" will give you a separate QT movie containing only the soundtrack.)
    Save to wherever.

  • My macbook air doesnt play voice audio tracks in movies. I can hear sound effects and music. In VLC and Itunes.

    I opened up multiple video players and multiple movie files. MP4 and MKV. They work fine on my macbook pro but on my air I can only hear the music and sound effects, the voice track doesnt sound. The movie files are one file only no dts or surround option. Im pretty stumped.

    Hi, Julian,
    I can't even find the instructions for it in the GB Help File
    That's because it's an undocumented feature.
    Here's a link that describes it:

  • Loss of sound on my 2 browsers Firefox and IE8 ... allother sounds work on the computer

    it seems that both my browsers together have lost the ability to play sounds... All other sounds work... so when I go to youtube video is playing no sound ? What do I do get get the sound back ?

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Is there anyway to have an application use the output for Alerts/Sound Effects?

    I am trying to set some applications to use the output designated for the System Alerts and Sound Effects, while other applications continue to use the regular Output?  I am using the Audio MIDI Utility with Aggregate/Multiple Outputs.

    An action can specify the resources that it needs, which will trigger alerts if they are not there.  Assuming that the system resources are there, you can include actions in an application bundle - see the Installing Actions section of the Automator Programming Guide.
