I''m running GNOME 2.16.2.
Playing sound from the Sound Recorder, or using aplay at the command line works just fine - and all the tests make the right noises in the device tab of Sound Preferences. Yet, for some reason, the System Sounds (in the Sounds tab) remain stubbornly silent. I've got ALSA installed as a kernel module, and ESD as the playback device for sound events.
Anyone have any clues as to why
(FWIW it's a Gentoo system running in a VMware Player).
Ta,
Greg
