I confirm this bug for Intrepid. Gnome doesn't play any Alert Sound when everything is checked in system->preferences->sound.
I have my internal pc speaker unplugged (because I hate it) but still have the mod active: $ lsmod | grep pcspkr pcspkr 10624 0 I was looking for a way to have gnome make the beep sounds (that would be nicer than an internal speaker!): here's the question I posted in launchpad (for references): https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+question/58158 gnome-control-center: Installé : 1:2.24.0.1-0ubuntu7.1 Candidat : 1:2.24.0.1-0ubuntu7.1 -- Annoying system beep plays instead of alert sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 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
