I haven't any system sounds either. Yesterday I set up a bunch of sounds
for low battery alert and various events, but they aren't playing. I
searched for some bug reports, and found some things about a grayed out
sound configuration screen, but that's not the case here. I'm able to
preview the sounds and using PulseAudio, I'm able to use espeak/orca,
music and other things just fine. So, the sound setup seems to be ok,
however no gnome sound events are playing. Did someone already file a
bug report for this? With the final version of Ubuntu 8.10 coming quite
soon, these things shouldn't happen anymore.
