Hi folks,
as mentioned in title i have a problem with the notification sounds in KDE. No notification sound is played except the logout-sound. When i test the sounds in the configuration window everthing is played properly.
Muting of the notification sounds is toggled off. That was the solution for most people in the forums.
I use Manjaro KDE with all updates installed. Sound IS working - Playing music works fine…
I think it is just a small configuration thing.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much for your replies

Notifications volume is not muted.
sounds are enabled in config for some events
the ONLY sound that is playing, is the logoff-sound… strange!
any help is appreciated! welcome every idea you have!
I know but I misread that one of the sounds is working, so my reply had no value.

It’s very hard to see whether it’s muted or not. Have you tried clicking on the button?
have you checked your sound options in terminal what’s your ouput of
pacmd list-sinks
Application sounds are turnded on - are on 100% and not muted.

Thank youuuuuu I had the same problem, I didn’t notice it was closed
I think it will work.
Well, It didn’t work Any ideas?
Hi everyone,
This is still ongoing. My laptop is way too silent. I can run music app, listen youtube, watch a movie etc. But no notification sound at all. Do your DE’s are the same? Any help please?
Note: I have KDE.
And this is the output of:

same for me: playing music works fine - but NO notifications sounds.
Testing the sounds in the KDE options works fine too
Don’t know if this helps: after a clean install sounds are finally working for me!

A little late on the reply here, but to fully hear the notification sounds, I had to turn it up to 100%. Maybe it’ll help you too!
hey folks,
for anyone who’s struggling to figure out why the notification sounds are not working on a clean installation of ${yourDistro} + KDE while the actual sound configuration seems to be properly set:
make sure you have “Notifications” application entry in the System Tray settings set to “Always shown”,
This has worked out for me on Debian 11
