Description Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer 2011-02-23 17:19:44 UTC

Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Note: this problem may lie in and underlying system of knotify. Please reassign as necessary.

When knotify plays small sounds (kopete's or konversation's notifications), instead of the sound you hear "small-duration" noises, although a few times works perfectly.

Switching knotify to use sox's play makes it work perfectly.

This seems not to happen if the sound is somewhat bigger than a simple notification.

Feel free to contact me to debug this problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes

I can reproduce this bug either with Xine's or VLC's backends.

Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2011-02-23 20:50:44 UTC

Similar reports suggested to try the GStreamer backend.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
