529522 - Cannot find default alarm sound file at chrome://calendar/content/sound.wav

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 378155

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Do the current lightning nightlies install the above mentioned sound.wav?

I can find it in the lightning.xpi but not in my .thunderbird directory. When I want to play the default sound.wav nothing happens, neither sound nor an error message.

Reproducible: Always

BTW, this error message appears when alarm sounds are active for events and an alarm is triggered:

Error: Error playing alarm sound: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsISound.play]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///home/user/.thunderbird/123456.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///home/user/.thunderbird/123456.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calAlarmMonitor.js :: cAM_onAlarm :: line 148"  data: no]

The alarm sound is available in my .thunderbird directory, it should be contained in extensions/{e2f...}/chrome/calendar.jar!/content/calendar/sound.wav You can try opening the DOM inspector and entering chrome://calendar/content/sound.wav into its url bar. If the lower browser doesn't say file not found, then its actually there and the fail is happening for other reasons.

(In reply to comment #2)
You are right the file exists and has the correct content, I looked for it in the wrong place.

Nevertheless, I cannot hear the preview of the default alarm sound (no error message here though) and if an alarm is triggered the aforementioned error message appears in the error console.

Does nobody else experience this?

Since I cannot reproduce and noone else can confirm, I'm going to take this off the blocking list. Nevertheless, I'd love to see this fixed. I'll reconsider with new STRs or if others can confirm.

Just found the solution for this problem. It seems to not be an lightning issue.

As in comment 10 of bug 378155, I had to install esound on my gentoo system.

Im using Thunderbird 3.1.4. However, bug 378155 falsely claims to be solved since Thunderbird 3.1.2.

I had to install libesd0 on Ubuntu 10.10 to get it working although libcanberra is installed too...

Ubuntu 10.10 comes with Thunderbird 7...
