Description richard.j.e.cooke 2022-07-06 10:12:55 UTC

SUMMARY
If you set system settings - audio - system notification sounds - to zero, KDE still beeps for notifications (e.g. on deleting the wastebin).  The only way to turn off the notification sound properly is to unmute then remute the setting.

This has been a bug for seven years, see: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/213285/how-to-disable-event-sounds-in-plasma-5

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:  5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

I can't reproduce the issue. When I mute notification sounds with the mute button or set the slider to 0% volume and then empty the trash, I hear no sound.

This points to the issue possibly being caused by a deeper level of the audio subsystem than what we provide in KDE.

It might happen only on a fresh install
