Hello list,
Over the last few days I've trimmed my plasma setup - to slightly below the
minimum, by which I mean that sound notification has stopped working. I can
hear streamed radio, but the plasma control panel doesn't show any devices
so I don't hear notifications.
I've scanned the list of packages I removed but I can't see a likely
suspect, and google just returns results about having no sound at all,
which is not my case.
Can anyone tell me which plasma module I need to install to hear
notifications again?
Again, the hardware and low-level drivers are fine: it's just plasma that's
missing a component.
I have the kde-plasma/plasma-meta installed here, although I do not run the
plasma desktop. It has the USE flag pulseaudio enabled, which I suspect is
needed to get things like desktop notifications working:
[+ C ] pulseaudio
kde-plasma/plasma-meta: Install Plasma applet for PulseAudio volume
management
[+ ] (5) 5.13.5 [gentoo]
[+ ] (5) 5.14.3-r1 [gentoo]

For what it's worth, I don't have PulseAudio at all on my system and plasma
still does audible notifications. I think Dale may be closer to the
solution with the suggestion about kmix.
