It still seems wrong that the bell sound is forced on me regardless of XFCE event sounds being off, but this approach at least makes the behavior consistent across all login sessions: one sound for each bell event.
I hardly know anything about pipewire & wireplumber so I'll have to do some research before I can pinpoint what exactly is causing these sounds to be played.
OK, I think I've found the root cause. It's in this stanza in /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf
context.modules = [ #{ name = <module-name> # [ args = { <key> = <value> ... } ] # [ flags = [ [ ifexists ] [ nofail ] ] #} # # Loads a module with the given parameters. # If ifexists is given, the module is ignored when it is not found. # If nofail is given, module initialization failures are ignored. # ... # Use libcanberra to play X11 Bell { name = libpipewire-module-x11-bell args = { #sink.name = "" #sample.name = "bell-window-system" #x11.display = null #x11.xauthority = null } flags = [ ifexists nofail ] } ... ]
Commenting out the stanza following the comment "Use libcanberra to play X11 Bell" disables the bell sound for all logins.
Given that this is a Pipewire configuration issue, should this be reported as a Fedora bug?
