I’m having an ongoing issue on my wife’s computer. Two issues actually.
First I can’t make the notification sound to work, no matter what I do. I just updated to Plasma 5.20.3, hoping that would fix it, but it didn’t.
Mistake 2: I decided to uninstall the pulse and reinstall it, hoping that might do the trick. Not only that didn’t change anything, but I also lost my audio icon audio in the system setting . How ever, I can still access and open the audio from the system tray icon.
