Bug Description
I did a clean install from feisty to gutsy. After the install I started to apply the custom sounds I was using on feisty but after selecting them in System > Preferences > Sound > Sounds Tab I tried to test the sound by pressing the Play button and nothing happened. I rebooted my system and the only sound that worked was the sound that plays when the GDM first loads. I managed to make some changes in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to get the login sounds working but the others don't. When I double click the sound file it loads into Totem and plays just fine. My movies and music play fine in mplayer and audacious but I get device errors when I try to record sound with audacity. I have spent several hours trying to fix this issue with workarounds and fixes I have found online. I have installed every package that Pulse Audio, OSS, ALSA, and ,ESD have to offer. I have tried switching between all of them and each one the Test button plays the testing tone but my system sounds still won't play. The only error I get in changing the sound mixers is when I test the sound capture, on every option I get "Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'".
I am running an MSI laptop with an AMD 64 3400+, 2 gigs of ram, and an SIS chipset. I was running Feisty amd64 but my clean install is Gutsy i386 since it has more compatible applications.
me too no system sound...
