Version: v0.8.4 (using KDE 3.4.1, Debian Package 4:3.4.1-1 (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-5) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-2-686 I cannot get KGet to play any sounds, either when downloading, or simply when hitting the "Test" button in the sound settings window. Options->Use Sounds is set. Settings->Configure KGet->System->Use Sounds is checked. Sounds for "Added", "Started", "Finished" and "Finished All" are all set, to their default sounds found in "/usr/share/apps/kget/sounds/". (e.g., "/usr/share/apps/kget/sounds/added.wav") Clicking "Test" in the System configuration tab does nothing, and KGet plays no sounds when I begin a download from Konqueror, by clicking KGet and entering an URL, or by dragging a link from Konqueror onto the KGet icon in my systray, or to the Drop Target icon (when I have it activated). I'm running arts... "Enable the Sound System" is checked in the Sound & Multimedia->Sound System section of the KDE Control Center. Other KDE applications that make sound (such as Amarok and KTTS) work fine. Thanks!
Go in KDE Kontrol to sound $ multimedia -> system notification Click on player settings and set Volume to maximum. (100%) It should play *.wav with any volume but for *.ogg it must be set to maximum. Not handy if you want music at normal volume but the system sound at a background level instead wakking up the neighboorhood :)
See Bug 102287: Sounds for System Notifications don't work unless paramter of volume is set to max
SVN commit 435428 by pino: Port KGet to the standard KDE notification system: this means less code, and nicer ways of feedback for the users, who can choose from several types of notifications for KGet events (like Download added, etc). The default implementation is configured to use passive popups for all the events, and for the Added event there is also the sound. Moreover, the sounds have been converted to OGG. So, we can make happy a lor of KGet users and close several bugs.

William, could you try the trunk version and tell us if your problem is fixed?
Not easily, at the moment. (Never built any stuff from trunk; I depend on the 'alioth.debian.org' packages of KDE for Debian Testing ('etch')) Sorry! :(
This bug is not reproduceable for me.
