I just hit an interesting problem. I have two Lenovo laptops, an R51 and a T61, both running new installations of Ubuntu 10.10. Both installations defaulted to compiz. In both cases, I can play movies, MP3s, etc. just fine.
The problem comes in that I can't get sound from the terminal or emacs. I found out that if I disable compiz, I get sounds from the terminal. I can select different sounds from the sound preferences app. They work with compiz disabled. On the T61, I get no sound from the terminal with compiz re-enabled. On the R51, I get a dull little beep from the terminal with compiz enabled, but not the bark or sonar, etc. I may have selected. I have the compiz config settings manager installed. On both machines, I have Audible Bell checked (General Options-> General). I still don't have any sound from emacs, with or without sound enabled.
