Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
Chat notifications should be configured to make a sound, currently they are not. How about using Kopete sounds?

Click settings->configure notifications from inside the text-UI.
Then click on the "play a sound button" checkbox for the "incoming message" option. 
Report back if does/doesn't fix it.

Or are you suggesting the defaults should be different?
Comment 2 m.wege 2011-08-01 14:52:37 UTC 
Yes, changing the defaults, was the intend of the bug report. I would expect that the default behaviour of an IM client. At the moment one even has to select the correct sound.
Comment 3 David Edmundson 2011-08-01 15:01:54 UTC 
Ok, there should definitely be a default sound set.

As for whether it should be on by default - that's a matter of opinion. You say yes, I say no. 

I'm happy to be proved wrong by popular vote, but I'm not going to change it based on just yours. I'll bring it up in our next meeting - or if you want, ask on our mailing list and see what the general response is.

I'm sure we can reach some compromise (maybe default for incoming chats, but not each message)
Comment 4 Daniel Cohen 2014-04-14 13:01:55 UTC 
A default sound is available (KDE-Im-Message-In.ogg), though the default configuration remains as it being disabled by default, as discussed at the KTP sprint.
