I don't really know anything about the trisquel programs or who makes the programs so I don't know if this is the best place to ask but

Every time I turn up or down the volume it makes a sound. I've dealt with it for a couple years but it's really annoying and I would like to disable it once and for all. In the sound settings there is no option to do so. Any idea how to do this??? Thanks.

You can switch off the "Sound Effects" in "Sound" (in "System Settings").

Sorry that only removes all notification sounds. I just want to disable the sound when you change the volume.

A dirty solution would be to remove /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.org

I don't think GNOME lets you (easily at least) pick what notification sounds are played.

laptop or desktop?
If laptop, what keys do you use?
If desktop, what happens if you change the volume using the volume knob on the speakers directly?

Try this, open a terminal and type:

alsamixer

use the left-and-right arrows to move from column to column, the up-and-down arrows to increase/decrease volume of a column, and the 'm' key to mute/unmute columns

Does it make a sound when you change the volume using alsamixer?
