I think "what we have here... is a failure to communicate" LOL! Maybe
simply a GUI issue.
First, following your exact steps below does work, at least for the one app
I used in the process. However...
I had never even tried adding a sound to any app or its notifications so I
had no idea of the steps involved. But I must respectfully say, the steps
are anything but intuitive. When one visits either the "Application" or the
"Notifications" tab in the "Applications" section, there is an "Actions"
popup list. One of the choices is, of course, "SoundAction." I suspect that
this is the choice and the location many people are going to and not seeing
any sounds added. At least, in my first attempts, that is where I went and
found it frustrating that nothing seemed to change.
Not until I re-read your instructions ("Go to the displays tab.") did I
realize I was selecting the wrong "SoundAction" choice. DOH! "If all else
fails, read the directions!"
The point is, the current Preferences have an identical choice
("SoundActions") in at least three separate places. However, the results of
selecting that choice, is NOT identical. I can't offer a suggestion about
what to put where and what to remove, but that is what I see as the basic
reason for the questions about how to get sounds working.
BTW, no matter what choice(s) are made, the "Actions:" popup list label
still says: "Actions" Even if "No Actions" was chosen. Perhaps Checkboxes
would be more explanatory, even if requiring more window real estate?

Actually, the sound I had previously worked with (in steps 1 through 6)
was instantly set and Previewed when "SoundAction" was selected. Of course,
this is exactly the same 'label' that is seen in the "Application" and
"Notifications" tab. There is not a list of available sounds at this point.
Those are only available when in the "Display" section. In other words,
your very well detailed instructions imply, at least to me, that there will
be something showing the sound I just worked on when I get to step 8.
Hope this helps. It may just me that needs the help, however! LOL!
