Is this still an issue in the final release of Oneiric for you?

[James Shaw (hertzsprung)]

Yes, it is.

[Walter Garcia-Fontes (walter-garcia)]

Sorry it was a while since you answered. If you still have this issue can you run the following command from a terminal:

apport-collect 858310

to attach more diagnosis information to this.

[Walter Garcia-Fontes (walter-garcia)]

Thanks. Can you provide step by step instructions on how to reproduce? I tried but in my systems I cannot reproduce.

[James Shaw (hertzsprung)]

1. Open the Sound settings dialog
2. Choose the Sound Effects tab
3. Select 'Default'
4. Select 'Bark' (or any option other than 'Default')

You will hear the default sound and the bark sound simultaneously.

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

[Walter Garcia-Fontes (walter-garcia)]

I have this in 12.04 Beta 1, and I'm reporting it upstream.

[Alexander Petcoglo (rckt)]

Made a fresh install of 18.04. The bug is present.

The issue described here was fixed in newer versions, if you still have a similar problem open a new report with a description of how to trigger it.
