This module allows users to configure the volume of notification sounds in Odoo (chat messages, inbox notifications, etc.).

A volume slider is added to the user's Preferences page, with a test button to preview the sound at the selected volume. The slider is only visible when notifications are managed within Odoo.

By default, the volume is set to 100%.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

Lets each user set the volume of Odoo notification sounds from their Preferences, with a slider and a test button. The chosen volume is saved and used for chat and inbox notification sounds.

This module adds a volume control for notification sounds to each user's own Preferences. On the Preferences form, next to the email field, a slider appears with a percentage and a small speaker button. The slider is only shown when the user's notification type is set to 'inbox', so it is hidden when notifications are handled outside Odoo.

  • Drag the slider to set the volume from 0% to 100%; the percentage updates as you move it.
  • Click the speaker button to play a test sound at the chosen volume before saving.
  • The setting is stored per user and is applied to the sound played for chat messages and inbox notifications.
  • The default volume is 100%.

The module extends the user settings model res.users.settings with a notification_volume field, and exposes it on res.users so it can be read and written by the user themselves. It also patches the front-end services that play notification sounds and manage user settings, so the saved volume is used when a sound is played. No new menus are added; the control appears directly in the existing Preferences screen.
