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.
Why use both ESD and ALSA? ALSA can mix sounds (in hardware if supported, software if not).
Whilst Googling for an answer, I found a site that suggested that GNOME system sounds used ESD - http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12404 No idea it's it true or not, mind you.
Anyway, check whether esdplay works to see if it's an ESD setup problem.
Thanks, but esdplay works fine.
