    <title>Note About Sound in GNOME</title>
    <para>
     For sound to work in GNOME, you must have sound enabled in the
     <application>Control Center</application>.  To configure sound,
     click on the <guibutton>Main Menu</guibutton> button (the foot
     icon) and select
     <menuchoice>
      <guimenu>Programs</guimenu>
      <guisubmenu>Setting</guisubmenu>
      <guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu>
      <guimenuitem>Sound</guimenuitem>
     </menuchoice>. Make sure both sound options are enabled in the
     <guilabel>General</guilabel> tab.  Feel free to configure and
     test things in the <guilabel>Sound Events</guilabel> section.
     Note that you may have to exit GNOME and restart for sound to
     work properly after enabling it in the <application>Control
     Center</application> for the first time.
