Problems with audio during the execution of audio test in "System Testing" application in xubuntu 9.10

[Riccardo]

When I start System Settings application, the first test goes wrong and I was unable to hear any sound.
My system is a IBM thinkpad R40 with Karmic Xubuntu ( 9.10 ).
I hear pidgin sound and others but no login - startup sound.

Please deinstall the sl-modem-daemon package if it is installed.

[Riccardo (rmarchiani)]

No sl-modem-daemon package installed, sorry.

I seem to have a similar problem with my ibm R51. No sound and system goes in coma - black screen and mouse still visible but fixed - 5 sec. after I ask for a system test. I hear no beep in boot, so maybe a hardware error, but I would have liked system test to tell me instead of deserting. Anyway, I am new on Ubuntu, and I like it so far.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
