[tde-users] Startup sound not playing all the time

I've noticed when the systems boot up, the startup sound is not playing all of the time, but the sound at logoff plays all the time. Is there a setting that will perhaps fix this? I looked at TCC/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System, but wasn't sure if any of those settings would correct it. Also, after I installed the OS on my other system, in order for the system sounds to play at all, I had to go to the same selection, choose Hardware, change the Audio Device from Autodetect to ALSA, save it, then change it back to Autodetect. Should this setting specifically be on ALSA? Thank you in advance.
