Chromium has sound when called from console, no sound when started from panel

[agro1986]

Chromium sound works perfectly when run from console, but doesn't when run from the Applications menu (even when Terminal is set to true in chromium.desktop). Here are the relevant info:

Installing chromium:


sudo apt-get install chromium


The deb files used to install chromium:


chromium-data_0.9.12-2_all.deb
chromium_0.9.12-7ubuntu1_i386.deb


/usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop:


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Chromium
Comment=Scrolling space shooter
Exec=chromium
Icon=chromium
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Game;
StartupNotify=false


(I have tried Terminal true and false, and StartupNotify true and false)

Partial log when calling "chromium" from gnome-terminal:

Hmm... The problem also happens with tuxkart and clanbomber. tuxkart output from console:

tuxkart output from panel (no sound):

Clanbomber gives no output to the console.

Btw, other games like TuxRacer, supertux, bumprace, and armagetron sounds fine when launched from the panel.

same as for Enemy-Territory and other stuff:
if u lanch it from the pannel u should disable sound event.
system>preferences>sound, events, user interface>'choose menu element' -> no sound at all.

hope this helps.
