I'm having this system sound problem not only in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04, but also in Opensuse 11.1 and Fedora 10. However only Ubuntu plays the system beep instead. In 8.10 I could solve the problem with installing a newer version of libcanberra using this guide:

I have also tried the live CD of the current test version of 9.10 and I didn't hear any system beeps but the shutdown sound still didn't play. -- Use proper sound event instead of system beep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
