"Event Notifications & Actions" lacks the ability to "Play a Sound" upon the notification "This device can now be safely removed." (was present in the old KDE4 version).
Any chance of this being implemented I wonder. The audible notification was quite useful when copying large amounts of data to a USB drive, to bring to one's attention the fact all of the buffered data had been written.
Could implement this by sending a sound-only notification, which is what Kamoso does.

Git commit 47f79ce60703d2ae36d97f97ba829d4c8f257d1f by Nate Graham. Committed on 06/02/2021 at 17:11. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [applets/devicenotifier] Play sound when device can be safely removed Apparently this was a KDE 4 feature that was lost in the Plasma 5 port. I've re-implemented it using a notification, so it can be turned off or customized if the user so desires. Kamoso does something similar.

A counterpart for when a new device appears would also be great :)
That would be nice, yeah. However it would probably be ideally implemented at a deeper level, so the sound would play when any device it attached, not just the kind of device that can be accessed using the Disks & Devices applet. You'd want to hear a sound when you plug in a mouse or keyboard too, so you know that the system recognized it. Can you file a bug report for that?

Created attachment 139374 [details] screen-shot of notifications -> device notifier
Sorry if I'm being rather dumb... but: 5.22 has landed in openSUSE TW and I've set the "Notifications" for "Device Notifier" as shown in attached screenshot. (BTW there's no description shown for the trigger event.) In setup the notification plays when the "Preview" button is clicked, but having exited setup after "Apply" "OK" and then mounting / un-mounting a USB stick, the notification sound does not play upon the "This device can now be safely removed." message.
Temporarily re-opened, as I guess this hasn't been noticed.
Darn. Can confirm. Looks like my fix broke. :(
