Normally K3b plays a notification sound after some events... burning successfull burning failed waiting for medium But no notification sound is working on Arch Linux running Kb3 17.12.1.
By default K3b uses the following audio files to play notification sounds: KDE-K3B-Finish-Success.ogg KDE-K3B-Finish-Error.ogg KDE-K3B-Insert-Medium.ogg However such files do not exist. Notification sounds work as expected when I set the following audio files available in /usr/share/sounds/ : Oxygen-K3B-Finish-Success.ogg Oxygen-K3B-Finish-Error.ogg Oxygen-K3B-Insert-Medium.ogg K3b 19.04.2 Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
Hi, Same issue here on Mageia Cauldron. Some years that is was reported and no response from any developer! this following files doesn't exist anymore, they were provided by kdebase-runtime from kde4: KDE-K3B-Finish-Success.ogg KDE-K3B-Finish-Error.ogg KDE-K3B-Insert-Medium.ogg Now it is oxygen-sounds from plasma which provides new kb3 sound notification file with: Oxygen-K3B-Finish-Success.ogg Oxygen-K3B-Finish-Error.ogg Oxygen-K3B-Insert-Medium.ogg So an easy fix is to replace this file from source in https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/k3b/-/blob/master/src/k3b.notifyrc: sed -i 's|Sound=KDE-K3B|Sound=Oxygen-K3B|g'
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/k3b/-/merge_requests/42
