GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 647254
Test Speakers won't work
Last modified: 2011-08-01 15:27:34 UTC
When I press a Test button in the Test Speakers dialog, nothing happens. Nothing is being displayed in the terminal. I don't hear anything.
Are you sure you selected a device that exists, and a configuration for which you have speakers connected? "gnome-control-center --verbose" will show you debug output.

Yeah. The selected device is working. It plays music everywhere (expect for the ``Test Speakers" button).
I have the same issue with my surround sytem
