Public bug reported: I did a fresh install of Karmic. My sound in general works. However, I no longer have any alert sounds for things like irssi hilights. I understand this is because pcspkr was blacklisted, and everything was supposed to be converted to the Gnome Alert sound as configured in the sound preferences. While I can play the alert sound in the preferences dialogue to choose one, I never hear it while actually using the system.
[addition] Disabling visual effects makes it work, so it's something between compiz and pulseaudio apparently? ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: ubuntu => pulseaudio (Ubuntu) -- No bell/alert sound in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475816 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
