--- Comment #10 from Kevin R <bassist...@gmail.com> --- I found the following file that points all sound themes to their respective sound files: /usr/share/knotifications6/plasma_workspace.notifyrc Long story short, Settings > Notifications > <whatever you choose within the list (e.g. Plasma Workspace)> will always need to point to their default sound event name. For example: Login will always need to point to 'desktop-login' Logout will always need to point to 'desktop-logout' These are all defined within the above file 'plasma_workspace.notifyrc', which then directly correlates with the respective theme file that is currently chosen. For example, /usr/share/sounds/ocean/index.theme. The only way I was able to have my own "custom" sounds was to pretty much create my own theme. However, what I did to test this out beforehand was to copy a couple of my sound files over to an existing theme sound folder (/usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo), in this case a login and a logout sound file (they also need to be OGA files). I then did the following to rename the files: sudo mv desktop-login.oga OLD-desktop-login.oga sudo mv desktop-logout.oga OLD-desktop-logout.oga sudo mv my_login_sound_file.oga desktop-login.oga sudo mv my_logout_sound_file.oga desktop-logout.oga This essentially replaced the original files with my "custom" files. I tested this out and was able to hear my custom logout sound (login still doesn't work, but I believe that is a whole different issue). So, very long story short, your custom sounds need to be named the exact names that exist within the theme sound folder. That being said, I really hope this isn't what the KDE team intended to happen, relying only on the sound theme feature. It was a pretty long process renaming all of the sound files I wanted to use. I hope a feature is added to once again allow us to use Settings > Notifications like we have always used it in the past, -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
