Make sure any users of esd are members of group audio. Make sure ~/.gnome/sound/system reads: [settings] start_esd=true event_sounds=true Make sure that sound files you are trying to play for the different events actually are installed and that the user has proper permissions to read them. Try playing them in a terminal with esdplay. -- Jerome
