Yes,sort of. Works on startup and shutdown. I just test it on 
http://flowplayer.org/ and it worked but when I tested Sound Preferences 
it did not. Devices were set on autodect. I tried all the other choices 
and they worked when tested. I left them on OSS (Open Sound System). 
Still no sound on Sound Preference - Sounds. They were working yesterday.

When I set a sound in Thunderbird other than default sound (which I 
don't think there is one), when there is new mail my screen gets dark 
and  have to force quit Thunderbird.
