  <title>Choose or disable the alert sound</title>

  <p>Your computer will play a simple alert sound for certain types of
  messages and events. You can choose different sound clips for alerts,
  set the alert volume independently of your system volume, or disable
  alert sounds entirely.</p>

  <steps>
    <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
    <item><p>Click <gui>Sound</gui>.</p></item>
    <item><p>On the <gui>Sound Effects</gui> tab, select an alert sound. Each sound
    will play when you click on it so you can hear how it sounds.</p></item>
  </steps>

  <p>Use the volume slider on the <gui>Sound Effects</gui> tab to set
  the volume of the alert sound. This won't affect the volume of your
  music, movies, or other sound files.</p>

  <p>To disable alert sounds entirely, use the <gui>On/Off</gui> switch
  under <gui>Alert volume</gui> on the <gui>Sound Effects</gui> tab.</p>
