[Bug 1460982] Re: sound: Testing mono output plays back noise.wav

 

** Description changed:

- When having a mono output source, such as BT HFP/HSP, unity-control-
- center by default plays /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav.
+ When having a mono output source, such as BT HFP/HSP, unity-control-center by default plays /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-test-signal.oga 
+  - which is a sample of noise.
  
  This makes it hard to know whether the speaker test works successfully,
- e g, if the sound output is noisy because of some bug, you can't hear it
- (it's noise either way!).
+ e g, if the sound output is noisy because of some bug, you will not
+ notice (it's noise either way!).
  
  It would be better if the test button was a spoken voice, just like when
  you test "Front Left", "Front Right" etc.
