Low volume on Empathy alerts

[ClouDdM]

Hi!

I'm relatively new to ubuntu and linux and for convenience I choose to surrender to the "ME" set-up by ubuntu, when it comes to using Empathy over my preferred Pidgin (I still use Thunderbird though without integration). The thing that annoys me is that the alert sounds, when I get chat massages and so on, are really low! Lot's of times I missed chats from friends because I didn't hear them. I've looked on the internet and I've tryed different sound settings in the main preferences, but nothing...

Can anyone help me solve this issue and help me turn up the alert volume for Empathy??

Cheers!

Try install Pulse Audio Volume Control (pavucontrol) and run it. Empathy will plays any sound while login in chat, logout or receive messages, and if we are using default sound theme (Ubuntu), it will appears in pavucontrol about 0,5 second, move its volume slider to the right. Try to use other sound theme if you think it is too short to be able to move the volume slider.
