Comment 88 for bug 191027

Thinkpad T60p, 2007-AD1 here, same thing.

I have a sound for when gdm login window is complete, and a sound for wrong password, but no "gnome system sounds" after login (e.g., no system startup sound).

*Other* sounds work fine. I can play sound files from the command line.

However, gnome-sound-properties does nothing; here's output of pulseaudio command:

/home/user > pulseaudio
W: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_27d8_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed.
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0

(Note that I can't find a module-alsa-sink file on my system. Not sure if that's an alias, but if not, would be nice if actual file name given......)
