No sound when launching some apps from applications menu on fresh 8.04 install
Im having a strange problem with some of my apps on my new 8.04 install. when i try to launch any of my games from the Applications>Games menu, i have no sound in some of them, and one wont launch from there at all. however, if i launch from terminal directly, all of the games work perfectly, sound included.
i have no problems with sound in gnome, other than that i cant get it pull through all of my speakers, but that doesn't really bother me that much.
One of the games i have, Nexuiz, is helpful enough to have a console, which i checked when i opened the program/launched a new game from within and it said that it couldnt find any of the sound effects, despite the fact that it works perfectly when i use the terminal. this has lead me to believe that there may be some broken links somewhere that are causing the problem, but i have no idea how to go about fixing them, or even why they would have broken.
if anybody knows how i might be able to go about fixing this, i would greatly appreciate the assistance
