After installing Ubuntu 11.10 on a new PC I have sound working and I have the Login Sound working but I don't get any other alert / notification sounds. e.g. If a question box pops up – there's no sound.
I've tried some other suggestions like copying all the sound files to the /usr/share/sounds folder but this hasn't helped.
Any ideas will be greatly received.
