I am affected by this bug. But the sound plays if in the home folder. This made me think that it is a problem of white space in the path. Indeed may path was ~/Musique/Got mail I also tried space in the file name. Thunderbird sound does not work. Otherwise it does.
Conclusion: Thunderbird new mail sound works if the complete path + file name contains no space, and does not work otherwise. Maybe a need for some more " " around path and file name somewhere in the Thunderbird code? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732572 Title: New Mail Notification Sound does not play in Natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/732572/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
