Bug ID: 379316
Summary: Notification sounds don't play
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.9.4
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
Linux distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Plasma version: 5.9.4
Summary:
Plasma isn't producing system sounds when I adjust the volume via the keyboard,
when I empty the trash, when updates are available via plasma-pk-updates, or
any other place where there's normally a system notification sound.
Regression:
All other sounds play just fine. I get sound from Gstreamer- and phonon-based
audio and video players and videos on websites.
The problem with system notification sounds reproduces when I use either the
Phonon VLC as well as the Phonon Gstreamer backends in the Audio and Video
system settings module.
The actual sound files at /usr/share/sounds/ play just fine from any A/V player
program.
Impact:
Lots of other people seem affected; not just me:

https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/6838fr/system_sounds_keep_breaking/
Additional information:
In the Audio Volume system settings module, the volume slider for "Notification
sounds" is locked at 0%, as in this bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367688
However this isn't the same bug, because many people reporting that issue *do*
hear system sounds (they just can't change the volume).
I'm happy to gather any and all additional information needed to debug the
issue.
