Gnome desktop sounds not playing, all other sound works fine

All sound works fine on my sarge desktop -- realplayer, music player etc. The only exception is the Gnome desktop sounds -- login, logout, error etc. These do not play at all, even when 'play' is selected for the various wav files indicated in gnome-sound-properties (all of which exist, and can b
