Turns out the cause is the ubuntu-sounds package doesn't provide the test sounds, and gnome-volume-control falls back to playing the bell sound instead. But, the bell sound is only played when "Enable windows and buttons sounds" is enabled.
The solution is to install sound-theme-freedesktop which provides these sounds. I'm guessing this will be easy for OEM to add to their images, but I also recommend that this is installed in standard Ubuntu as ubuntu- sounds does not provide all the audio events. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/736349 Title: "Test speakers" is silent -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
