Last edited by MountainDewManiac ( 23:38:12) I started listing them in case there was an obvious (to you) conflict, but it's a big list and probably not relevant so I quit. and a bunch of other ones that came up when I typed 'sound' into Synaptic Package Manager and chose to display only the ones that were installed. Pulseaudio-module-bluetooth (IDK why, this old thing doesn't have Bluetooth.) Otherwise, do you have any ideas? I think my setup has both Alsa and Pulse, but IDK for sure or even if that is even possibly relevant.ĮDIT: Looks like I have the following files installed: If you think it complicates the thread too much to have the two of us asking for help, just let me know and I'll stop cluttering it up and go back to quietly reading it. This is on Mint 14 XFCE (32-bit), which is based on 'Quantal.' Still no new sounds, just the usual login sound. So I rebooted the computer and tried again. Did several things that I figured would cause the system to make noise - got no sound. Got the pleasant little login tune again. so I even installed Leafpad (lol) in order to be able to copy and paste things exactly as listed).įinally, I logged out and logged back in. Next, I viewed the Ubuntu thread that you linked to and created the two files that were mentioned as being a requirement for all this (I had to follow the instructions to do that too, since I'm pretty ignorant. It then appeared in my menu, so I ran it and turned up the system sounds to 100%. I looked for 'pavucontrol' in my menu, but didn't see it so I ran SPM again, entered it into the search box, and installed it. Then I searched for gnome-session-canberra - it wasn't installed, so I installed it. I ran Synaptic Package Manager and searched for 'sox' - and saw that it was already installed. So I tried to follow the directions you were kind enough to provide here. Then I read this thread and realized that wasn't true. I had assumed that was the only system sound that XFCE had. All I have is: after entering my login information, I get a pleasant login sound as the pic/image displays and the text states that things are loading for a few moments.
