Bug#512934: Acknowledgement (installation-reports: no sound after install)
This further information which may be of use;
But first a question, Why is gnome-audio not installed by default ?
Sound did and does work when playing a music CD, a movie DVD,
Flashplayer (youtube) perfectly, and the sound in Runescape played via
IcedTea's java plugin, but the sound would cut in and out. This reported
issue is about "System Sounds" not playing, even after installing
gnome-audio and enabling "system sounds".
When investigating after a clean lenny build, manually installing
gnome-audio and enabling the system sounds, I used the following to see
if esound-clients was installed, it was not, the only esound package
that was installed was esound-common. Only having esound-common
installed of the esound packages may be correct but I do not know. The
library package libesd was also installed.
#aptitude show esound-clients

In an attempt to get "System Sounds" to work, I have installed;
apt-get install esound esound-clients esound-common gnome-audio
libesd-alsa0
Installing these packages causes System Sounds to work (I can click on
the "Play" button in "Sound Preferences" and here the sound that I
expect.). FlashPlayer sound still works, but IcedTea (java) sound played
from Runescape does not. Then (later on), I even installed alsa-oss and
edited the line ICEWEASEL_DSP="aoss" but this did not give me sound in
Runescape. Runescape is the only java web based program I know to
generate sound for testing.
I now believe I should not have installed esound, esound-clients and
libesd-alsa0 but I really do not know what the relationship between
these packages are.
Please let me know if I can provide you more information. Sound has been
an issue since etch where I have always needed to install alsa-oss and
ICEWEASEL_DSP="aoss" to get sound working, however alsa-oss and changing
to ICEWEASEL_DSP="aoss" by itself did not work in lenny.
Now the command gives this;
#aptitude show esound-clients
