SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Currently, if you do a fresh install of an OS with Plasma, the option "Notification sounds" (System Settings > Audio) won't appear unless a system event with sound happens first.

Allow to turn off system sounds without waiting for a system event with sound happens.

Interesting.
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2021-05-19 09:10:19 UTC
I know the root cause of this. The setting changes the volume of the relevant entry in the stream restore database, but if no such sound has been played then there is no entry. Not sure how to fix it though
