System sounds don't play at all

Honestly I disagree there, many people did not enter into the contest because testing the sounds was impossible, and thus not actually discoverable which sound theme worked as a sound theme…

I am certainly against shipping a theme that was never tested merely because it was voted.

We can include it in the packages I suppose, as long as it is usable, but it should not need to be the default.

Preferences for sound doesn’t work at all even with the conquest sounds

Is there anything wrong with using the sounds in a different operating system to see if they work good as sounds alone?

Only the startup sound works with a .wav file for sure!

The “Beep” and “Vision Nick Notification” sound events work too.

I was interested in the latter, that was what prompted me to do some small UX fixes in that preflet, some weeks ago.

“Beep” gets annoying, fast, if you use the Terminal for more than 30 seconds :smiley:

Edit: Mmm, now I see that one of those UX issues on the Sounds preflet is back (I’ll have to double check it).

Apparently it works OK on 32-bits, and stil has issues on 64-bits. Quite annoying, as I’m not smart enough to debug such differences :frowning:

PS: Welp. Found the UI/UX problem. Already sent a patch for review.
