Xubuntu 14.04 system sound not working?

Question

There are no system sounds as far as I can tell and there is no option for setting this in settings. Speakers are working fine as I'm able to play Youtube Videos.

Its a fresh 14.04 LTS install.

All help is appreciated.

Edit: I'm sorry for not putting things in better words. Yes, Youtube sounds and Songs, movies etc are working fine. Its just sound indication/system sounds which were played as a feedback from system during events. E.x:Login sound.

2nd Edit: I was able to get Log-in sound working by following this. However, nothing else has worked to get other sounds working which are mentioned in there.

3rd Edit:

Problem;

XXXXX:~$ xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/EnableEventSounds
false
XXXXX:~$ xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/EnableInputFeedbackSounds
false

Found solution, looks like this was set to false so I had to change it to True using following commands, not sure why it was on false though.

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/EnableEventSounds -s True
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/EnableInputFeedbackSounds -s True

Answer 1

Search for Pulse Audio Volume Control in XFCE menu, Go to playback section, you will find the system sounds section. It must have been muted

Answer 2

This drove me crazy. Make sure Pulse Audio Volume Control is installed. To install open a terminal (Ctrl+T) and type sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

This took me forever to find but worked like a charm.

Answer 3

Search for PulseAudio in XFCE menu. Go to Output Devices section. You will find the mute audio button. It might have been muted.
