From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Galeon/1.3.13 Description of problem: After enabling gnome sound events, no sound events happen. Even after logging out and back in. It seems to be a simple problem of esound needing a rebuild. I rebuilt the srpm and installed the resulting binary rpms and it worked. The stock esd from esound-0.2.32-3 seg faults. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): esound-0.2.32-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable gnome sound events (including enabling the sound server) 2.Log out, log back in 3.Launch an application from the gnome panel 4.Witness no sound Actual Results: There is no sound for gnome sound events. Expected Results: I should hear sound for events such as launching an application from the gnome panel. Additional info: The esd daemon seg faults when launched from a terminal window. I was able to simply rebuild the esound src rpm and install the resulting binary rpms to fix the problem. No more segfault.
Have you adjusted the volume settings? Alsa defaults to muted on load.
I should have pointed to the discussion on fedora-test-list. Yes, definitely, I've followed most of the threads on that list and unmuted the sound card via alsamixer. As I said, it's only the gnome sound events that don't seem to be working and I assume anything else that depends on the esd daemon. Running esd on the command line seg faults, but rebuilding the esound src rpm and installing the new binary esound rpms fixes the problem. So the solution is right here in the bug: the esound rpm just needs to rebuilt and pushed out to rawhide.
