Edited to add code tags

This can be fixed by the installing gsound:

sudo pacman -Syu gsound

Looks like cinnamon profile needs to be modified to integrate gsound. It can be annoying for cinnamon users not to be able to launch Control center.

I just did a fresh install last night on vmware and after updating just now i can confirm. I had to add gsound also.

Fixed upstream. See https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/1a00a919a9283270bd6796e58842dad6a7187501

Just do a pacman -Syyu to get the fixed version.

So it won’t need to be added to packages then?

depends=(accountsservice caribou cinnamon-control-center cinnamon-menus cinnamon-screensaver
         cinnamon-session cinnamon-settings-daemon cjs gnome-backgrounds
         cinnamon-session cinnamon-settings-daemon cjs gnome-backgrounds gsound

they added sound as a dependency for cinnamon package… so yes it will solve itself :wink:
