I tried that, and all the other custom sounds. I can hear the sounds when I click on them to select them, but not when I run the echo command. I have one of the sounds, the "sonar", set up as a new mail alert. It works. The command is: /usr/bin/ogg123 -q $fileToPlay where fileToPlay=/usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/sonar.ogg That works just fine. I should also mention that these sounds have worked in the past, that this is a recent fresh installation of 10.10 (replacement hard drive), and the computer is a Lenovo R51, http://charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html Thanks. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
