Comment 2 for bug 162336

[Hardy 8.04 alpha-1 sound] No system sounds here either, but sound output tests okay on System>Preferences>Sound>Devices. On the Sounds tab, none of the system sounds play their test, using the default sound files or by making other selections. "Play System Sounds" is enabled, but I don't get the login or logout sounds. But I do get sound from Totem playing the Example file "Experience ubuntu.ogg" and from Adobe FlashPlayer 9 embedded in Firefox playing a flash video from a web site. Just no system sounds. My system sounds worked fine on Ubuntu 7.10, but not on the Hardy alpha 1, neither before nor after the major alpha upgrade. My test computer is an i386 system (Celeron 2.6 GHz) with C-Media CMI 8736 sound chip using ALSA mixer. It works fine in Windows and Ubuntu 7.10.
