2."Device"->"Sound Event",Change "ESD" from "default",click "Test"
3."Sounds",Check the"'Enable software sound mixing" checkbox and "Play system sounds"checkbox.
4.Navigate to "System Sounds" list,select one system event, focus "Play" button and action it.

This is all very old code, and we don't use ESD any more. So it should work as expected with PulseAudio and the new gnome-media gnome-volume-control.
