Sentry Crash Report:

Description Kabir Akzaman 2025-05-09 16:29:49 UTC

SUMMARY
The default alarm sound of the KClock app which I used on desktop for setting timers has a sound which made my ears hurt as I use desktop headsets. It should be something else by default or, more importantly, allow to be changed by the end user on a Desktop plasma session.

From what I was able to see in the Plasma Settings page, I saw that the notifications did in fact had a timer section in the Applications settings which had a much more soothing and less ear-damaging sound which Kclock did not use at all.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KClock
2. Set a timer (time doesnt matter)
3. Wait till it ends.

OBSERVED RESULT
High pitched alarm sound which hurts the ears and one which cant be changed within the app or outside.

EXPECTED RESULT
Probably should've used the Timer sound from the Application-specific settings in the Notifications settings

I added this feature in https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kclock/-/merge_requests/206

Is a global timer sound option okay? Implementing per timer one (as alarm sound config) is a bit more involved.

Yeah being able to manage timer sound globally is good. I may ask what is the state for the Alarm sound or do I also need to make a another bug report about that?

Comment 3 hanyoung 2025-05-14 14:37:34 UTC

Kclock already supports setting alarm sound

Comment 4 John Kizer 2025-05-16 18:24:54 UTC

Updating status since the bug janitor process didn't seem to pick up on the connection to that merge request

Add ability to change default timer sound

Add a config section under Settins page to allow user to change default
timer sound. The default timer sound is used for all the timer
notification sound, it's not possible to config the sound per timer.
