            Bug ID: 506084
           Summary: New authentication dialog sound effect should not be
                    played when authentication dialog is configured to be
                    bypassed

SUMMARY
The Merge Request
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/polkit-kde-agent-1/-/merge_requests/53 added a
new sound effect to authentication dialogs on Plasma 6.4. Some distributions,
like Fedora, are configured by default to bypass the authentication dialog for
many actions, like installing RPMs with Discover, changing SDDM settings or
even for some start-up services. That means the sound effect gets played for a
dialog that doesn't show up, and even after Plasma gets loaded. To the user, it
just feels like a random sound that is not connected to any action. The sound
should be disabled when auth windows are set to be bypassed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a distro like Fedora
2. Boot or do an action that would require authentication, like installing a
program

OBSERVED RESULT
Sound effect plays but either nothing shows up or the window is only shown
briefly.

EXPECTED RESULT
No sound should play when authentication windows are set to be bypassed.
