*Hello Tux,

I just looked at what I have here with sound preferences, here they are:
The top three are all Autodetect.
Sound Capture is ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
The default Mixer tracks: Device Capture:ALSA PCM on front:0 (VIA 8237) 
via DMA (Pulse Audio)
Then is shows MASTER below...

As for your screen going dark, I think it is looking for the sound and 
can't find it, just a guess...

If you want I can send you a .wav file, for your to put say in your home 
dir., name it sounds, then go to thunderbird, where it shows the sound, 
click the brouse and go to your your home dir, for sounds, click on the 
.wav file...Then try it out...Send yourself a message to see if it works...

Also in sound preferences, check PLAY SOUND EFFECTS...

Larry
