It probably did play the sound. You didn't hear it because the sound
level was turned off.
Run Kmix or something similar to get to all the various settings for
your sound card. Specifically, turn up Master Volume and Some of the
PCM levels - you'll have to experiment with those. Desktop sounds
are controlled by PCM settings. Make sure you have the correct sound
driver setting in KDE (dunno about Gnome). I select Alsa explicitly
rather than "Autodetect".
For some reason, sound levels of most devices are turned down or off
in Fedora Core; I don't know about other distros.
Yes, that irks me. Every time I log in and go into the gui Volume
Control, all the sound levels have been returned to their default
levels. How can I get the levels to *stick*?
(At least it doesn't set the mute settings back on. I couldn't get
the sound to work until I discovered that every setting was muted.)
I think I got the settings to stick in KDE by doing a "Save Session".
In Gnome, the selection is "Save Current Setup".
I changed the volume control and closed the gui. I selected logout and
chose "Save Current Setup" and clicked OK. Then I logged back in and
checked the volume control gui. The setting stuck. Then I changed the
volume again and logged out (this time without selecting "Save Current
Setup"). I logged back in and checked the volume control gui. The
second change stuck too. So then I just did a reboot. I figured that
it will revert back to either the first change or the original settings.
It reverted back to the original settings.
So, I *still* cannot get the volume changes to stick.
