xfce sound theme not being updated

Hi,

I'm using xfce 4.18 with Gtk 3.24.38 . Systems sounds have been working fine. Now I tried to change some of the sound files with newer ones but the old ones are played, which is strange. I've even renamed the entire sound theme folder but somehow the old event sounds are still remembered and played.

settings->apperance->settings->enable system sounds + enable feedback sound are both ticked

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/SoundThemeName 

blah

 echo $GTK_MODULES

canberra-gtk-module:canberra-gtk-module:gail:atk-bridge

The pulseaudio & libcanberra-gtk-module packages are current.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: xfce sound theme not being updated

canberra pushes audio into pulseaudio's sample cache. If you've removed/exchanged certain files restart pulseaudio/run

pacmd remove-sample $samplenamehere
