System Sounds / Sounds pref issues

[bronzie94]

On current Dev version

1) When you first select an event sound, it does not allow you to play the sound (button ghosted) - you have to move off the event item and back onto it for the play button to activate

2) When you return to an event item (select in list), the correct selected sound shows in the list, and also is playable with the play button, but is not the item listed in the drop-down ( "<none>" is selected)

3) System sounds, such as startup, window activation, close, minimise, restore (etc) do not seem to work when sounds have been assigned to these events.

I have installed Haiku on a "new" machine (Dell Optiplex 780 Core 2 Duo) - this time "Stable" R1/b3 hrev55181+56)

• Startup sound (at least) is working :)
• Things like "window minimised" still seems to not work...

UI issues still exist as reported

On hrev56395:

Regarding the UI/UX issues... I can reproduce issue number 1, but not 2.

#15295 keeps track of the sound events not working.

UI/UX problems fixed in hrev56415.

Reopening this ticket, because now I can see/reproduce it's original issue number 2.

hrev56514. It only happens on x86-64 (32 bits works just fine, as it did when I worked on issue 1).

There's seems to be some issue around the M_EVENT_SOUND message. If I'm reading it correctly, a "path.InitCheck()" check seems to be failing on 64bits, but works on 32.

Will have to double check.
