Description phrxmd 2021-02-06 16:43:44 UTC
SUMMARY
KDE does not play a sound when a new USB device is connected.

New users coming from Windows or Gnome are used to notification sounds upon USB connection/disconnection. These users may find it irritating that there is no sound and no way to configure it. Having a notification sound can also help with identifying USB connection/disconnection issues.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in a USB device
2. Nothing happens

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice to hear a sound when a USB device is connected
A second step would be a KNotification popup indicating the device.

There are regularly users switching from GNOME or Windows and asking for this:

Seems reasonable.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-04-11 14:44:31 UTC
Marking as a duplicate of 435509 as it is a more generic request for a sound when connecting *any* device, which would be more generically useful and fix this automatically.
