Well I think I figured out "my" system bell problem.
While messing about w/ your question I found out I no longer had a system bell when I checked the box "Use system bell instead of system notification". If this box is unchecked then the "System Notification" sounds were used as they should be.
In my case the solution was found in
kcontrolcenter->Regional&Accessibility->Accessibility->Bell
After I checked "Use system bell" then EITHER "System Bell" or "System Notifications" worked for me. If not checked then originally I could only use "System Notifications" (now for some reason both work)
There is some wierd interaction Between the settings under Regional&Accessibility and Sound&Multimedia but darned if I can explain it.
But enough about me
NOW onto your problem! Check the available settings in
kcontrolcenter->Regional&Accessibility->Accessibility->Bell
There is another checkbox "Use custom bell". If this is checked but no sound is selected then you get no sound no matter what you select in the sounds&multimedia section!
My suggestion is that if selecting one of these doesn't fix your problem right off the bat then try checking each box, apply the change, then uncheck and apply. Then go back and try setting up your system sounds again.
Thanks for replying, again. Glad you got yours working. I cannot. Tried every possible combination as you described. No go. Tell me, when you "click" on the little arrow button, does that play the selected sound? Didn't have the problem you described in your following message about the sounds files/directory. Neither did I have the one that Stan described except that if I changed directories it would remain at that one until I changed back. It stays at the last selected directory which I like. Do me a favor please. In the interest of trying to solve this problem I went to the more options section and tried to utilize the"message" option and the "execute a progam" option. Neither of these will work either so it is probably not just a sound problem. Will you try that and let me know? Something wrong with the Control Center I think.
I don't know why but it worked for me 8-0
Yes, it did for me also, and in 8.1 with kde-3.0.5
Good Luck, let me know how it turns out.
