after this update (first one moving from palsma 6.1 series to 6.2) i have some weird bling sounds coming when my monitor loses connection and when it powers up again, much like when you add or remove usb device on windows. Even though i have system sounds turned off.
Is there some new sound thingy introduced that is separate from system sound theme?
I had notification sounds muted in the sound settings, but by going to the global theme sound settings and unchecking the âenable notification soundsâ box i was able to get rid of it.
So it seems there is some problem that the device connection sound is not classified as ânotification soundâ in the volume control settings.
Whatever⌠i guess the proper way to remove notification sounds is to actually disable them, instead of how i had done it by just muting them.
But i actually found some very limited configuration options here. It does not seem like there is a way to choose what notification sounds you want to hear, you get them all, or none. Weird that there is no options about what notification sounds from a theme to use.
Problem is, the volume sliders wonât appear unless the sound is actually playing (at least in Plasma sound settings). I had this issue when trying to adjust the Skype ringtone. Had to do a âtest callâ and adjust it that way.
In this case it would be helpful to know a little more about your system.

would be a good start; and knowing if you have more than one monitor â if itâs a single display that will explain why you donât see an extra slider appear briefly.
And as i said, i got the sound turned off already so my problem is fixed.
Only thing that remains is why plasma does not consider it a notification sound like all other notification sounds that can be controlled by the notification sound volume slider.
I perhaps should have pointed out more clearly that sounds which arenât actually pre-defined âsystem notificationsâ i.e. triggered by another program, usually trigger a temporary slider (when active) in the Playback Streams section at the bottom of the window in System Settings â Sound.
For example, Skype, where the volume slider for the ringer only shows when itâs ringing.
