Tom & NMGLUGers, I found some control for system sounds in my audio mixer
controls, pavucontrol and pulse audio. I use the panel icon for sound, go
to audio mixer and then, "Playback" and look for system sounds. I turned
mine down a bit, but do not have the problem Tom has with high volume and
pitch for system sounds. this would be a start, but not definitive. Also I
am now on a desktop, but pavucontrol from the panel does work in laptops,
from past experience. Thank you, Ted P
