[Bug 559532] Re: [lucid] empathy does not make any sounds when set to
Drawing on straws here but: The sound-file used for incoming messages
("message-new-instant.ogg") is extremely quiet (too quiet for my taste
at least). Even with alert volume at maximum I can barely hear it.
Maybe that's the same with you. So maybe try to use a sound-file, that's
louder?
The aforementioned "message.ogg" is only used for outgoing messages. I'm
not sure any more which of my first posted steps fixed it for me.

[Bug 559532] Re: [lucid] empathy does not make any sounds when set to
I have the same problem, but found a solution, that worked for me at least: I noticed, that after installing the package "sound-theme-freedesktop" and setting the sound theme to default in the audio properties, empathy made sounds. So I decided to look at the files and found the following: There is a file named "message.oga" in the freedesktop-sound-theme, but there's no "message.ogg" in ubuntu's sound theme. So I just created one and empathy now makes works like I'd expect. In other words: /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/message.ogg is missing and needed by empathy to make a sound for incoming and outgoing messages. Hope that helps other people as well. -- [lucid] empathy does not make any sounds when set to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/559532 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I don't think that's the problem I'm having.

I was having the same problem, then I remembered I set the "Sound theme" in "System > Preferences > Sound" to "No sounds".

No problem with sound at all in any other application.
