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

I have just started having this problem, having updated to 20.04. So far I have only encountered it with libreoffice writer, about 30% of the time I copy/cut and paste (whether by menu or keyboard shortcuts). I do this a lot due to the nature of my writing. This is the first time since I moved
