[SOLVED] Thunderbird 12- Notification Sound Doesn't Work
« on: May 14, 2012, 05:19:46 AM »
I just updated Thunderbird, & the notification sound no longer works. Is there something I can do, or is this really a bug?

You've checked that the "Play a sound" is ticked in Thunderbird?

Thunderbird 12.01

It works here

Have you checked that you didn't delete or moved the soundfile ?

Like I said, I never changed anything. I only upgraded TB via synaptic.

I wonder if you realise how aggressive this response reads?

Also you were asked to check if the item is ticked ....  not whether you changed it or not.

You did not answer the question that was asked of you ....  did you check?

I cannot help with your posted problem, but the apparently aggressive responses just might have something to do with the lack of help available.  ;)

I appologize if my response seemed aggressive, that was not my intention. Yes, that option is ticked as it always has been. I just need some direction as to where to look for the cause of this problem, since it seems to be only my system.

Is esound package installed on your system?
Check it out by command:

Yes, it's installed. As I indicated above, the notification sound worked until I upgraded TB.

If you choose a different than the system sound, will that work or not?
All that is is good. PCLinuxOS is.

I never use the system sound, but that doesn't work, either. Changing the sound doesn't help.
