The description is incomplete/misleading; in my case at least the bug was that re-unmuting sound effects after muting them had no effect.
After poking with it a bit, I think I just isolated it: it only happens when instead of unckecking the "Mute" checkbox on "Alert volume" you reset the slider and the checkbox is automatically unchecked. Visually the end result is the same (non-zero volume leve and unckecked box) but how you get there has different effect. By the way the "Output volume" slider doesn't have this problem, only the "Alert volume". Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986692 Title: Re-Muted Sound Effects doesn't play.
