Description Stephane 2004-06-19 11:09:26 UTC

I've installed GNOME 2.6(.1) on three very different machines and none of them were able to produce any GNOME system sound (other sounds, XMMS, gaim, mplayer were OK, just system sounds). After a long Google search, I finally found that the bug was in libgnome and that it had already been solved by a one-line patch (see URL).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch GNOME Sound Preferences ;
2. Select a sound (you must have installed the gnome-audio package) and click play
3. Hear nothing.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
The sound should have played.
