Desktop login sound doesn't play after login

Solution 1:

Rather than deleting the whole .dconf folder, just open dconf-editor and navigate to:

org.gnome.desktop.sound

Change the value of "theme-name" to "ubuntu"

Also check to make sure that "GNOME Login Sound" is checked in "Startup Applications".

I've also filed a bug about this:
