I am using 12.04 LTS. Is there a way to properly disable that feedback sound when you are adjusting the volume? I would like to adjust the volume on my system without producing those "pops".

Unfortunately this old thread did not produce any answers that are useful for my situation, since disabling all notification sounds impacts the use of many applications.

The only way I know to do that is using your mouse. You can go to the sound indicator in the upper right corner, click on it and adjust the volume in the slide bar or click on 'mute'.

'I would like to adjust the volume on my system without producing those "pops".' I offered a way to do this, not the best, I know, but works if she has to adjust volume silently. – leousa Jun 18 '12 at 11:13

Go to your Sound Settings (the Volume Icon in the top right corner and click on it, and then click on the Sound Settings option at the bottom of the list.)

From there click on the Sound Effects tab. There will be a sliding bar labeled Alert Volume. Either slide it all the way to the left or just check the Mute box beside the bar. That should do it.
