1. open dolphin
2. select any folder/file, press shift+delete and check the actual behavior
3. open sound settings from the tray icon, change your actual notification sound setting
4. back to dolphin, repeat the step 2
Result: previous notification sound setting is still active
Restart dolphin and repeat the step 2
Result: new notification sound setting is active now

Same problem here.
But it only affects "Mute" (for notification sounds), changing the notification sound volume works fine.

I just did a new Arch installation and can confirm.

Can not reproduce on Arch Linux after update to frameworks 5.50.

That's likely because knotifications 5.50 now uses libcanberra by default instead of phonon.

I suppose the problem would still show up if you'd compile knotifications without canberra support, so it would still use phonon.

I'll reopen it therefore, although it's less of a problem now of course.

This backend for Phonon is no longer maintained or supported, and has not been for quite some time. Please use the VLC backend instead--which is the recommended and maintained replacement--and see if you can reproduce the issue there. If you can, please open a new bug report at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=phonon-backend-vlc.

Thanks a lot!
