System testing fails on audio playback the first time

[Elijah Lynn]

This is from memory, an hour ago.

I just did a fresh install and went to the system testing dialog and the audio playback was inaudible, I made sure my volume was up by pressing the hardware keys, then I pressed test again but nothing was heard. I then went to Youtube and played and played a test video and no sound. Then I went to the sound icon on the top right and manually dragged the volume up there and the next Youtube video had sound. Then I went back to the system tester and I heard sound.

I could possible recreate this if I installed this again or maybe ran from a live CD. Let me know if I should.

Okay, I just had a period of no audio, I restarted and nothing happened. Then I rediscovered what I did the first time to get it working. I went to sound settings and pressed the test sound button, the sound worked fine. Then all other sounds worked fine after that.
