On both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey I get the Gtk-Message, but not on Firefox. As far as I can tell: Firefox works for both .play and .playEventSound Thunderbird and SeaMonkey silently fail for .playEventSound and give for .play the following message in the error console: Timestamp: 15/01/12 21:08:23 Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsISound.play]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: javascript:%20Components.classes["@mozilla.org/sound;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISound).play(Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService2).newURI("file:///usr/share/sounds/pop.wav",null,null)) :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1" data: no] So it seems that comm-central based projects are maybe not initialising something that Firefox is... I've built SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey from the same source tree. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732572 Title: New Mail Notification Sound does not play in Natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/732572/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
