Description Ghost 2018-08-14 13:15:21 UTC
Muting 'Notification Sounds' has no effect and all notification sounds are played at full volume except for 'Volume feedback' one that plays while changing the volume using my laptop's extra keyboard keys.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 'Audio Volume' configuration module;
2. Try muting 'Notification Sounds' volume;
3. Trigger a warning dialog box in 'Dolphin' file manager by selecting any item/file and pressing 'Del' button.

Actual Results:
The sound was made when the dialog box appeared.

Expected Results:
No sound should be played.

I have this on Manjaro, Plasma 5.13.4 qt 5.11.1, Framework 5.48.0
4.14.65-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 18 13:29:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have notification sounds muted in sound system settings:

and I also switched off all sound notifications in notifications section of system settings.

Yet, I get sound notification in two cases:
1) in gtk2 application cherrytree - use Ctrl+end to go to the bottom of note page and press again "by mistake" ctrl+end and you will hear beep sound. Also go to note page down and just use down ↓ arrow again when mouse cursor is in the last line. You will hear beep sound.
2) when I installed fonts in wine from here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/
after every successful installation program shows message that it was installed and then I hear beep sound.

I don't know but it may be worth checking if this problem is related to other problems that Plasma have with saving / respecting settings:

I started searching for solution and this worked for me:

xset b off

Comment 3 apache 2018-09-08 19:12:04 UTC
It appears that it worked until reboot. To make it work permanently create a file named: .xprofile in /home/user and paste in to it the command:
xset b off

Muting notifications mutes the Dolphin popup sound 

Operating System: Netrunner Rolling

@Alexander Mentyu
Can you reproduce the case for gtk applications?

As you can see I linked to manjaro forum where other users reported this problem too.

I think it would be great if muting notification sound in system setting worked system wide for all type of applications.
Comment 7 Alexander Mentyu 2018-10-04 18:48:07 UTC
Beep sound is reproducible in Cherrytree when notifications are muted and there is no notification sound after trying to close windows with unsaved files - Gedit and GIMP apps - with notification sounds not muted

This was fixed a while ago.
