[FeatureWish]: Disable all beeping sounds

[happygitusr]

Hello,

I often telephone with the Linphone.

Sometimes I have to hold a conversation. Often I can't even answer that I'm just about to finish something (and it beep also loud when call stop call). (it should only really beep when busy)

Unfortunately, it often beeps very loudly (in my headset). Can you please turn off these beeps as an option in the settings. (I found no option to disable it in settings (Ubuntu 22.04 Version), yet).

Very dear thanks

Hi,

Same behaviour under windows. Beeps are much louder than the voice chanel and it cannot be reduced or disabled.

Best Regards,

This almost literally makes linphone unusable

same here on Debian with 4.4.9 AppImage version.

Edit: this does not happen with linphone 4.2.5-3 debian package.

Hello there! By contacting the dev mail list, we were able to Fix the problem for us. So first we are using linux so you may need to adapte this to your OS flavor.

You need to look for the file "linphonerc" in the user home dir, usualy : .config/linphone/lnphonerc before editing the file be sure linphone is turned off ! then in the file look for the section sound and change as the following :

[sound]
tone_indications = 0

or use the sed command :

sed -i 's/\[sound\]/\[sound\]\ntone_indications=0/' .config/linphone/linphonerc

Be sure linephone is turned off before editing Yes this not perfect but if there is still not a graphical option it's worked for us and our user are greatly pleased by this The Beep was impacting there health some had to go on medical leave because of it !

So the ability to cancel that Bip graphicaly is still a good point (we are still using linphone 4.4.4)

Hello there, we are also affected with this issue! After upgrading Ubuntu from 20.04 (with Linphone 3.11) to 22.04 (4.2.X something via apt) we were not able to transfer a call with talk back (I think its called "warm call transfer") via the GUI we had to move to the app image versions supplied by https://download.linphone.org/releases/linux/app/ With the newer versions we are able to do warm call transfers BUT the beeping is very disruptive. If we put a call on hold it beeps three times loud to the headset. I can reproduce that behavior at 4.4.4 and 4.4.11; also at a 5.X version I tried recently.

@Brettdah I tried your workaround. The config entry stays persistent but the beeping when putting on hold is still there. There is a small typo in both of your filenames lnphonerc -> linphonerc Is there a chance to speak to the devs more directly?

Do you guys have another clue or hint for us? There is no good alternative to linphone at the moment. We want to use it but this issue is keeping us thinking.

Regards! Bastian

I can not find the file linphonerc on my Android phone. Is there an option to disable this in the Android version ?
