esd daemon problem

Everytime I reboot I have to restart the esd daemon to get system sounds to work. I use the Gnome desktop.
It always used to work till recently after I did a pacman -Syu and updated a few files (don't remember what they were)
I have esd in rc.conf daemons.
All other sounds such as cd's, dvd's, streaming radio work fine.
Is there a way to set esd permanently so that it won't "drop out" on shutdown? Or any other ideas would be great.
Thanks
Cheers

Edit: After restarting esd daemon the system sounds work when I click on them in Sound Preferences/Sound but not in actual practice when normally using the computer, if you see what I mean.
