Notification Sounds not Playing
I'm running ScudCloud on Ubuntu 15.04 just fine. However the notification sound will not play. Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?
I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04, even when I manually trigger a sound in the setting window (where you can change the notification sound), nothing plays - nothing even shows in the ubuntu application sound settings window. No errors if I run it from the terminal, just silence.
Im having the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04.
I tried using ubuntu-tweak and nothing, but this could be an inherent problem with my system's notification.
Same problem on Debian Jessie running KDE. Another similar Slack client does not have this issue though.
Hi guys, thank you for raising this issue.
While I can understand your frustration with sounds not playing on ScudCloud, the fact is ScudCloud has 0 lines related to sound and related configurations: the sound is played directly by the Slack HTML engine.
In the past, we saw some problems related to sound, solved updating the base system (#68) or requiring some configuration tweak in Pulseaudio (#31).
I've stopped using linux :|

What is interesting about this: I've changed nothing in code, and then suddenly, some day, in my new machine, ScudCloud sounds stopped to works. Just in the new machine.
Sounds like some sound configuration in my desktop changed and affected Qt applications.
Ok, I've downgraded the new machine to Ubuntu 14.04. I faced so many small issues in 15.10. Sound is back in ScudCloud for me.
I can now assure what I've said above: this is not a ScudCloud issue. It's related with system sound, as there is no line of code related to sound settings in ScudCloud.
I am also experiencing this issue, using Arch Linux. The setting for flat-volume was already set to no, so that's not the cause (for me). I strongly suspect (at least in my case) that this is a bug in one of the underlying libraries or applications, as when testing the notification sounds, they will sometimes make a popping noise, or play a sound, but rarely do anything.
Can confirm that this is happening in Ubuntu 15.10. When in the browser slack notification sounds come through just fine.
@Syco54645 What is really weird about 15.10 is that sound worked for me in a first moment, then later it stopped and never got back. In few days I'll install 16.04 here to check.
Today I've installed 16.04, and sound is working properly (while in 15.10 I faced weird results).
Well my installation of WebRTC updated, and this issue no longer occurs for me.
@CubeTheThird Thanks for the nice feedback! I'm glad to hear sound is back!
Maybe, in Ubuntu, it can be related to webrtc-audio-processing package.
