Effect isn't applied to system sounds, error 'beeps', notifications, etc. #3131

EasyEffects Version

7.1.6

What package are you using?

Flatpak (Flathub)

Distribution

Fedora workstation 40

Describe the bug

I have very loud sound system, and for preventing ear damage I've installed Easyeffects and applied Limiter effect with maximum output reducing. It works flawlessly, but it is ignoring OS system sounds, for example errors, or notification when you are changing volume using volume bar with mouse etc.

Expected Behavior

Applying Effects for every outputs

Additional Information

Do you have "Process all outputs" enabled in easyeffects? It is the default setting.

What is the attack value set to in your limiter effect?

Can you share a debug log from when you hear the louder system sounds? instructions here

A long time ago when we were still using pulseaudio I decided to blocklist system notifications. I do not remember the reason well now but they caused some undesirable side effects.

Maybe after all these years it is fine to not block them. But the best solution will probably be to add an option to our preferences window that allows our internal blocklist to be disabled.

Sure, attaching screenshots. Screenshot from 2024-05-10 22-52-57 Screenshot from 2024-05-10 22-11-26

Haven't changed attack value or anything else because I really don't understand them. Do we need debug log considering further comments?

Personally I agree that such option is good idea, at least in my case of usage :)

Adding some info. Just realized that I can adjust system sounds volume level at GNOME Settings as workaround, and switched on system sounds again.
