Can Thunderbird play sounds correctly on Linux?

0

I am trying to configure Thunderbird to play a sound when an email arrives and although i have set it there is no sound.

When I try to test a sound via the Play button, the sound is not played.

Is there some place where Thunderbird needs to be configured to play sounds? Like in about:config?

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with KDE.

1Not to be pedantic, but are you able to play sound normally? – txtechhelp – 2014-04-25T07:09:19.463
