Ping noise on login COSMIC Atomic

Ask Fedora

Running COSMIC Atomic 44.20260825.0. When I log in to my laptop, it now makes a “ping” sound when the desktop loads. Is it supposed to do that? Something new in COSMIC? Is there a way to disable it?

Morning @apollo18 ,
That’s a sound level checking

I created 2 .desktop files in ~.config/autostart

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=My Command
Exec=/home/aa/hush.sh
Terminal=true
Type=Application

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=My Command
Exec=/home/aa/volevel_on.sh
Terminal=true
Type=Application

and in home
cat hush.sh volevel_on.sh

#!/bin/sh
ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error     -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=48000:cl=mono     -t 0.10 -c:a libopus -b:a 16k     ~/.local/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga
pkill -x cosmic-osd

#!/bin/sh
sleep 15
rm ~/.local/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga

to restrict muting for login only. It was tested in non-atomic Cosmic.
