I have no idea why this happens. But I found a solution after about 5 minutes. Go to System > Preferences > Sound Go to the Applications tab Keep that open and open a nautilus window with a sound file Hover your mouse over the sound file, but keep the sound preferences window active. After a second, you will see a seek bar called Audio Preview. Do not move your mouse. Use your down arrow button to go down to the seek bar, then use the right arrow button to move it to 100%. That should do it.
