Same problem in 12.04. This happened sometime after a gnome-control- center (and ....-data) update (to 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu0.13.1) this morning. I tried going back to the previous version (1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1), to no avail.
Both Alsa and PulseAudio sound still work, but the failure of the Test Sound facility is a real nuisance. I switch devices often, and have always used the Test Sound to check it has worked (since it's always seemed a little unreliable). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003058 Title: "test sound" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1003058/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
