System 76 offers their own drivers for their systems. I just went to their website: http://knowledge76.com/index.php/MaverickUpgrade and downloaded the drivers. E-mail sound now works after a reboot. You might check with them and see what they do to fix this. It might give insight to other systems not from this company.

I had sound with Youtube via Firefox and sound worked on Movie Player as well as PiTiVi Video Editor, plus other software. There does seem to be a Thunderbird issue there. It's just fixed on my laptop when I apply the drivers from System 76. If there are other, more pressing, issues you might put this one further down on your list. Thanks!

Basically, normal system sounds are played via libcanberra, which is installed by default on most Linux distro's. However, custom event sounds with .wav files are played via esound, and require you to install libesd in order to work. esound has been deprecated for a long time though, and it's not installed by default on most distro's. I'll try and think of a different way to do this which doesn't require esound :/ Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/732572/comments/20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-30T18:07:20+00:00 Chris Coulson wrote: Moved to Core::Widget: Gtk, as the issue is with the gtk nsISound implementation Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/732572/comments/21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-30T18:34:47+00:00 Dan Hobson wrote: Sounds like you found the root issue.
