I never heard such sounds before with the file chooser, but there are still event sounds with when adjusting volume, and video sound still works fine.

var apparently should mean no event sounds when using Chrome. Apparently the file chooser can call an event sound which will or may work if GTK_MODULES var = canberra-gtk-module. Now run Chrome normally and the hang after file chooser problem is gone.īased on what I read, canberra-gtk-module connects GTK apps like Chrome to event sounds. So I edited the /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome shell script (as root) and added this line: I am using Linux MATE, and its system-wide GTK_MODULES var = canberra-gtk-module.

Which refers to the GTK_MODULES env variable. Even with input-feedback-sounds = false, Chrome hangs (for me) when it calls the native file chooser.
