  • enable_overdrive = false clamps Control Center output/microphone sliders to 100%; true allows up to 150%.
  • enable_sounds = false disables all UI sound playback.
  • sound_volume controls all UI sounds. A value of 1.0 plays the source at unity gain; lower values follow a perceptual volume curve. Files are decoded through libsndfile; common supported formats include WAV, FLAC, Ogg/Vorbis, Opus, MP3, and AIFF. Exact format support depends on the distribution’s libsndfile build.
  • sound_theme selects an installed sound theme. Themes inherit from their declared parents and fall back to freedesktop; shell sounds are loaded from each theme’s stereo directory.
