For me, the following worked: In Evolution, go to: Edit Plugins and choose the plugin called something like Notification of new mail (my version is in another language), and open the tab Configuration on the right. The FIRST line, I UNmarked (called something like Play only sound when mails arrive in the INBOX. The next fielt I marked Play sound everytime mails arrives. Below that, You can choose Beep (standard), and that don't work, so I choose Play from file and found a file that I like, and everything now works fine.

Way to fix bugs - just let the report expire! this has been and still is in the last 3-4 versions of ubuntu - I'm using a plugin as a work-a-round I have come to the concussion that this is actually a gnome theme problem Given that there is no serious official interest - I've become very de-incentivised and stopped investigating the source of this problem - indeed the lacklustre response to this and other bugs has made me realise that reporting any bug appears to be a waste of time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292585 Title: Evolution Mail Notification has no sound -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 292585] Re: Evolution Mail Notification has no sound
I thought that this would have been fixed as it is something that new users are likely to encounter and give them a low opinion of the software. On the few occasions that I got a sound to play correctly, it then started playing every time a dialog box was presented by Evolution, at which point I gave up and turned it off. Coupled with the calendar view not showing all appointments correctly when scrolling and the lost ability to save inline images in e-mails makes me think that Evolution is not being supported as well as it could be, which is a shame, because it's a nice piece of software.

[Bug 292585] Re: Evolution Mail Notification has no sound
I did some more digging on this, and looking at the code for evolution 2.30.3, it uses libcanberra for playing the sounds. This is confirmed by looking at the GNOME bug report that says that libcanberra was used since 2.29.x. However, ldd shows that libcanberra is not a dependency of the evolution binary in Ubuntu 10.10. Could it have been built without libcanberra support and hence there is no sound? -- Evolution Mail Notification has no sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 292585] Re: Evolution Mail Notification has no sound
Did even more digging, and the plugin shared object for mail notification does depend on libcanberra so I suspect that my previous comment was incorrect. Also, I just changed the sound in the mail notification dialog box and it has started working again, so it might have been fixed with the upgrade to libcanberra. -- Evolution Mail Notification has no sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi guys, after I couldn't make this work, here's my dirty workaround for the problem: * Somewhere in your home directory (for me it's ~/Programs/) create a new file, for example: touch play_email_sound * Edit the file with your favourite editor and put this in (replace the path of course): #! /bin/bash aplay /full/path/to/soundfile.wav * Make the script executable: chmod a+x play_email_sound * Go to Evolution, create a new incoming mail rule, for example Sound - The criteria should be something like fits all (don't know what the English version will say), unless you want it to play sounds only for specific accounts or senders - The action for the rule should be Run program and pick your newly created script from the list (there's also a Play sound action, but since the Evolution one doesn't play, this one didn't work for me either) - Save the rule and put it on the very top of the rule list * Send a message to yourself and grab a beer until it comes in Cheers, Wojtek -- Evolution Mail Notification has no sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

1) I have just updated to Ubuntu 9.04 and Evolution 2.26.1. 2) I now find that I also can't get the mail notification sound to work. 3) I have set Edit/Preferences/General to Play a sound, When New Mail Arrives In. 4) I have set Edit/Plugins/Mail Notification/Configuration/Mail Notification to Play sound file, clicked on Specify filename and selected usr/lib/openoffice/basic-link/share/gallery/sounds/apert.wav. When I click on Play the sound plays OK but it doesn't play when I receive new mail. 5) When I type gconftool-2 -g apps/evolution/mail/notify/sound it returns; /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery/sounds/apert.wav, which was where the sound file used to be located, but this path no longer exists.
