[Impact]

 * When booting to "Safe Graphics" mode the system startup sound would
   sometimes not be played

 * This is an accessibility issue as the system startup sound is meant to
   indicate that Ubiquity is ready

[Test Case]

 * Boot an installer image to Safe Graphics mode and listen for the sound

 * You can optionally use `systemctl status sound.target` to monitor when the
   sound should be played. This should occur shortly after sound.target becomes
   active

[Where problems could occur]

 * If sound.target never comes up, the system ready sound will not be played.
   This could be caused by a missing or broken sound card

[Other Info]

 * It is expected behavior that the sound target may take longer to become active
   when nomodeset is on the kernel command line. This is because nomodeset prevents
   the kernel from pre-loading audio drivers.

 * This problem seems to be more prevalent with Intel sound cards
