Bodhi 4.5.0-32 bit - How to turn off typing sound, please?


Where can I turn off the typing sound, please?

I cannot find such an option anywhere.

EDIT:
Saying "typing sound", I mean the click sound that appears each time I press any key on my keyboard.
I'm looking for a way to disable it.

This is for event sounds which may or may not be what you want:-

Looks like the sound isn't always there.
Usually, I hear it, when I enter my user password or when I use ePad.
I don't hear it within other editors.

@ Ztcoracat
Your first link is only about the volume keys, but actually, volume that's not the problem.
If I reduce the volume, I don't hear anything at all, which is not what I'm looking for.

I already tried to disable the alert sounds, but it didn't affect this present issue.

No no, it is not related to any Ubuntu stuff. It is related to elementary stuff and ePad, Terminology or password dialog are apps based on Elementary. I am not in front of my Bodhi NTB but in the meantime try to open quick launcher (alt esc) and find "elementary config". There under a tab is the sound item you need to turn off. I will bring more details when I get home.

@ the_waiter

Thank you very much!

I just had to enable "Mute input" in the Audio tab of "Elementary config".

Now, I have almost heavenly silence while typing anything!


EDIT:
Sorry, there's one question left.

I just checked the Elementary settings on my 2nd computer (a laptop), where I'm running Bodhi 4.5.0-64bit appPack.

There's no typing sound there, but unlike the netbook with Bodhi 4.5.0-32bit appPack, "Mute input" is not enabled on the laptop.

How come, I need different settings to have the same result, i.e. to have no typing sound?

So now when you type a key is the sound now muted?

Yes, it is, Only the typing sound.
Videos or audio files do still have sound.

It's just that I don't understand, why I need to enable "Mute input" on one machine, whereas I don't need to on the other one.

Hello again

Maybe it is related to Terminology settings which is disponsible when you press right mouse button and select settings. Under behavior menu you will find "react to keypressed". If it is unchecked, no sound is generated while typing.

maybe a note: because bodhi is based on ubuntu - not all paths for settings and preferences, etc are endemic to moksha/Bodhi. Most likely terminal commands are consistent but actual paths to get to tweak things are not even close. Having used gnome in the past - when i tried the new gnome plus the new Ubuntu - stuff that was tweakable was not and needed extra apps that people had to tell you about and even preferences setting for the main home directory/file area had a weird place to locate it. so the path which would have worked in older gnome and ubuntu or mint does not. So if someone doesn't know bodhi/moksha they may send you down the yellow brick road.

thanks for all of your hard work stefan...

edit - stefan what do you mean by elementary? there is an elementary os but i do not think that is what you are referring to.

Elementary is a widget library that is built on top of the Enlightenment foundation libraries. This is what Moksha and Bodhi's small set of custom tools are written in.

@ the_waiter

Just checked the Terminology settings.
"React to key presses" is not enabled.
So, must be something else, what's causing the difference.
