Sound not working from script launched by alarmd

[jgwong]

Hi, I'm developing a simple Python script which makes a sound using hildon_play_system_sound(). The script works correctly when I run it via command line, but when alarmd launches it, it makes no sound whatsoever.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

What user does alarmd run under. Is it root or something?
Did you try your script under root?

Thesandlord: It's running as "user". I tried running it both as root and user, and it works.
