[Bug 745994] Re: Can't hear sound effects when in Unity

 

I am also seeing the same with Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
It is almost exactly the same with steps to reproduce and results. Also when I login to guest the login sound works there.
I also tried with the Oneiric Ocelot live CD.
1. After booting to desktop sound was muted in the top panel speaker icon.
2. Opened the Sound Settings from the speaker icon, unmuted.
3. Selected diffierent sounds in Choose an Alert Sound, they all sounded and were audible.
4, Logged out
5. Logged in.
Result no login sound.
Diferences with my setup is: pressing tab in terminal causes alert sound to work there and also in live CD. No other system sounds play though either in actual Ubuntu install or Live CD.
All the media plays in my setup and live CD. Microphone also works in both.

Title:
  Can't hear sound effects when in Unity

Status in “gnome-media” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-media

  Can't hear sound effect in unity. 
  Works in Ubuntu classic (no effects).
  Attempted to change sound theme, and alert volume but this did not change the outcome.

  Actions used to try to produce a sound:
  In a terminal, using tab completion on a non existent path

  Other things noticed:
  -Sometimes alert volume gets muted even though not requested. Even if not muted, sound effect does not play.
  -Cannot select an alert sound at certain times
  -Playing with sound theme selector makes the login sound play
