--- Comment #19 from Thomas Carmichael <carmanau...@gmail.com> ---
Based on Patrick Silva's mention of a recent pipewire update, I did various
testing and found some issues that are occuring with wireplumber 0.5.0, where
downgrading to 0.4.17 doesn't specifically fix this issue, bug the behaviour
may have some relevance. I did various tests with downgrading the various
pipewire packages to 1.0.3 but it seems like it's the wireplumber (and
libwireplumber) package changes that have had the impact.
All this testing was on EndeavourOS (so Arch) under X11 (in case that's
relevant) in a virtual machine and what I did that appears to be pertinent was:
1. Downgrade to wireplumber 0.4.17 and restarted
2. Before login, delete ~/.local/state/wireplumber (to be sure nothing here had
an impact)
3. Checked for "Notification Sounds" slider under System Settings > Sound but
there was nothing there
a. Tried to "Empty Trash" to see if a sound would show the indicator but it
didn't
4. Opened "pavucontrol" and lowered volume of "System Sounds" under "Playback"
tab a bit
5. Reopened the System Settings and there is now a "Notification Sounds" slider
6. Reduced volume to 0 and tested a notification sound, and no sound played (as
expected).
7. Set the volume at 0 and restarted, where the volume was remembered and I
could see the "Notification Sounds" slider on login
8. Set the volume at 100 and restarted, where the volume was remembered and I
could see the "Notification Sounds" slider on login
After the above testing:
1. Upgraded wireplumber to 0.5.0 and restarted (cleared
~/.local/state/wireplumber again)
2. Checked for "Notification Sounds" slider under System Settings > Sound but
there was nothing there
a. Tried to "Empty Trash" to see if a sound would show the indicator but it
didn't
3. Opened "pavucontrol" and lowered volume of "System Sounds" under "Playback"
tab a bit
4. Reopened the System Settings and there is now a "Notification Sounds" slider
5. Reduced volume to 0 and tested a notification sound, BUT sound still played
(not expected)
6. Set the volume at 0 and restarted, BUT the volume was not remembered and I
could not see the "Notification Sounds" slider on login
a. It was necessary to open "pavucontrol" to get the slider to show again
7. Did multiple restarts, each time using "pavucontrol" to get the slider to
appear and setting the volume to 0, then restarting and each time the
"Notification Sounds" slider didn't appear and sounds still play when the
volume is set to 0.
Downgrading back to 0.4.17 seemed to partly fix the issue, at least so far as
notification sounds being muted when volume is set to 0 and the volume change
being remembered, as there's still the issue that the slider is not visible
initially until using "pavucontrol".
I realise that my in my testing I noted the sounds playing when they shouldn't,
which isn't this issue, but I thought it was worth noting in case it's
associated with whatever is going on with wireplumber and the KDE Plasma 6
interaction.
