--- Comment #49 from Aurélien Oudelet (auroud85_fr) <aoude...@outlook.com> --- I managed this workaround: Write a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/ like this: touch /etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.plasma_startup_sound.desktop vi /etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.plasma_startup_sound.desktop Add this: [Desktop Entry] Exec=/usr/bin/paplay /usr/share/sounds/Oxygen-Sys-Log-In-Short.ogg Name=Plasma Desktop Startup Sound Type=Application X-KDE-StartupNotify=false OnlyShowIn=KDE; Icon=plasma NoDisplay=true Save file. Reboot. Log in. Booh. Startup sound played !! This is hacky. Needs paplay binary from PulseAudio (generaly on all Linux systems meanwhile) BUT end-user doesn't have to write this type of hack.
