Description Casual J. Programmer 2008-03-21 12:20:15 UTC

After clean install from alpha3 DVD and update from factory, selecting "Computer/Control Center/Sound" then selecting the "Sounds" tab and clicking "play" on the offered sounds ( Error, Log out, Log in ) achieves nothing. Selecting any other .wav file likewise.

The sound test on tab "Devices" works properly. The .wav files are played correctly in Totem if clicked from Nautilus.

Not sure what kind of information would be helpful here,please advise.

This is probably caused by a missing package in the default installation. After manually installing GNOME Desktop Environment Pattern, as well as esound it works.

1. esound should not be installed. PA takes care of this
2. Enabling network access to local sound devices makes system sound work

Marking as dupe.
