Re: Sound for notification?

[Donato Marrazzo <donato marrazzo gmail com>]

Hi Onyeibo,

which theme have you installed?

I tried some but nothing.

If I send a notification with this command 

notify-send  "SUMMARY" "BODY"

I get no sound!

I'm still looking for a workaround!

I think that it's a terrible limitation of gnome-shell, that I love for the rest...

TIA

Donato

And what about to handle a default sound? When the application does not specify it?

Thank you

I suppose that depends on the sound-theme.  If the active sound-theme provides audio for generic notifications, you should hear one.

I get audible notifications for incoming mails, alerts etc.  but that is because I have a sound-theme that provides those.

We were enthusiastic about packaging comprehensive themes for fedora but that adventure was dampened by the realities of life (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Sound)

Yes. The freedesktop notification spec has optional hints to specify a

sound when the notification is displayed[0]. We support those hints,

so if a sound is specified, and sounds are not disabled for that

particular application in notification settings, we play the sound -

if either of those is not the case, then there won't be a sound (most

likely the former - in my experience, there are very few apps that do

specify a sound with notifications).
