Do you have qtubuntu-media installed maybe? I just tried music app, youtube and unity8 notifications and they all played sound fine.
Can you please supply the music app log from .cache/upstart/ when you're trying to play? Any chance your speakers are muted? ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Invalid ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity8-desktop-session (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604433 Title: Listening audio does not work on the desktop Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Playing any audio (eg. youtube video) does not produce any sound on the desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1604433/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
