Hello Giles,<br>
<br>
I'm using the Qt6 version for a long time now.<br>
I've already tried with some videos and the sound is present (on my
monitor's internal speaker and also on external bluetooth speaker).<br>
<br>
I forgot to mention that when in the Notifications setting dialog I
try and test the sounds all are heard on the speaker.<br>
I'm including the relevant settings page on my installation.<br>
<br>
Any other suggestions about what I might try?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Andrej<br>

<br>
I was playing with the DK Notification settings a bit. I was
trying to <br>
change the sounds but no matter how i set it up only the
default sound <br>
is ever played for all actions.<br>
<br>
I'm running the latest 9.0.0 version on Windows 11 - is this
supposed to <br>
work in this combination?<br>
<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried the same under macOS, and the sound is played as
expected. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Notification configuration panel come with the KDE
framework component KNofyConfig :</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>In this one the sounds are played with the
QtMultimedia framework (that we use in digiKam too to play
the video) :</div>

<div>Questions :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1/ Did you use the Qt6 version of digiKam under Windows.
If you use the Qt5, switching to Qt6 is the future and the
days are numbered for the Qt5. Note: the Qt5 version does
not use the QtMultimedia framework. To check which Qt
version you use, take a look at the Help/Components Info
dialog.</div>
<div>2/ If you use the Qt6 version, QtMultimedia relies on the
media backend to play content with the right codec. To see
if you use the right backend (configurable in digiKam
Setup/Misc/System dialog page), please try to play a video
in preview mode and look if sound can be heard. If not,
configure the right backend as explained in the online
documentation:</div>
