Binary package hint: pulseaudio

When I boot my computer, I do not get the short bongo sound effect. When I log in to a Gnome session, I randomly (about 10% of the time) get the longer percussion sound effect, but usually (90% of the time) do not. When I log back out, I randomly (about 50% of the time) sometimes get the short sound effect at the gdm screen and sometimes don't. Within a Fluxbox login session, I can sometimes get sound to work (amixer -- set Master playback 100% unmute , and then madplay), but sometimes can't (50/50).
