I actually have the same question because I’ve been trying to figure out something similar on my system. Random sound clips or unexpected audio events can be really confusing to track down, especially when you’re not sure whether they’re coming from a specific application, a background service, or something deeper in the system. After reinstalling and still seeing the behavior return, it definitely makes you wonder where it’s being triggered from.
I’m also curious about the best way to trace something like this on Debian whether there are specific logs, processes, or tools that can help identify what’s playing those audio files. It feels like there should be some way to trace the source or catch the process responsible. If anyone has experience tracking down unusual audio events like this, I’d really appreciate hearing how you approached it.

> I had the same question when I was looking into integrating NodeBB with my own website. I also wanted to avoid having two separate login/register systems and instead rely on my site’s existing authentication so that users could seamlessly log in to both. The default NodeBB setup doesn’t make this obvious, and I wasn’t sure if it could sync without a lot of custom code. From what I’ve read, people usually suggest looking into SSO plugins or writing a custom authentication strategy so that NodeBB accepts your existing session or token. But like you I was hoping to do this with minimal modification to NodeBB itself. I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has implemented this could share the best approach, whether it’s using passport, JWT, or something else that plays nicely with NodeBB. I know I am reviving a very old thread because somebody has already asked that question please help
