No sound at all, went to test speakers, sound preferences menu crashed

[Jared C.]

Binary package hint: gnome-media

To start out, no sound was coming from my speakers at all (Digital output (5.1) + analog input, using alsamixer). Went to test me speakers with various different types of hardware settings and then every time "test speakers" was pressed the sound preferences crashed.
