Description Arialo 2024-04-01 06:45:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
Kalarm does not play any sounds with any audio files. I cannot reproduce this on any other system with the same audio files.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kalarm
2. Open an alarm and hit "try", alternatively the alarm will not play naturally either.

OBSERVED RESULT
Kalarm plays no sound and if observed in the terminal it gives the output: org.kde.pim.kalarm: AudioPlayer::play: Failed to play sound with canberra: File or data corrupt

EXPECTED RESULT
Kalarm plays the audio file with no issue

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch linux, kernel 6.8.2-arch2-1
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Kalarm works in a manjaro VM with the same audio file and alarm.ics file.

What audio format are the files which you have tested? 

Is it the same version of KAlarm in the Manjaro VM?
