I have confirmed that this is still an issue with Ubuntu 9.04. Found Sound Preferences, when selecting a custom sound file, single clicking the sound file (without pushing the Open button) will cause the sound to "preview" play. Some of my .wav files play, others do not. Once selected, the sound files also do not play.
Meanwhile ALL of the .wav files play properly in gnome-sound-recorder. For example, the Willy Wonka login.wav I attached some time ago to this report played in Ubuntu 8.04, will not play in 9.04. Is there some sort of error log that the Sound Preferences makes that might have captured what it thinks is wrong with some .wav files? /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog do not seem to be getting logged to. ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu Hardy system sounds and some other audio files are not properly played + Ubuntu Hardy / Jaunty system sounds and some other audio files are not properly played ** Description changed: - After upgrading to Ubuntu Hardy, It is not possible to play system - sounds and other audio files + New Desc: Some files will not play in "Sound Preferences" while the same + file will play with gnome-sound-recorder. + + Original Desc: After upgrading to Ubuntu Hardy, It is not possible to + play system sounds and other audio files -- Ubuntu Hardy / Jaunty system sounds and some other audio files are not properly played https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176898 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
