Does this happen with the Windows/Java TurboVNC Viewer as well?
With the Windows/Java TurboVNC Viewer the behaviour of Slack is exactly
the same. Without running the viewer in fullscreen mode I can hear
Slack's sounds, in fullscreen mode I cannot.
I will now try to switch off keyboard grabbing of the viewer in
fullscreen mode.
Mostly, there is nothing special about the TurboVNC Viewer's
full-screen mode on Windows. The viewer simply removes the
decorations from its main window and resizes the window so that it
will fill all available screen real estate. However, the (now
deprecated) native Windows TurboVNC Viewer from TurboVNC 2.2.x and
prior sets the HWND_TOPMOST hint in full-screen mode, which instructs
Windows to keep the window in front of all other windows. Maybe Slack
is detecting that.
Slack may also be detecting that the TurboVNC Viewer grabbed the
keyboard in full-screen mode. Try setting the keyboard grabbing mode
to "Manual" and leaving/re-entering full-screen mode. (You can tell
that the keyboard is ungrabbed by the fact that you will be able to
Alt-Tab away from the TurboVNC Viewer. If the keyboard is grabbed,
then Alt-Tab will be passed to the VNC server instead.)
The results of those tests (whether the issue is observed with the
Windows/Java TurboVNC Viewer and without keyboard grabbing) will give
me a clue as to what is causing Slack to trigger, but there is still
probably very little I can do about it.
Also, I would suggest upgrading to the 3.0.x TurboVNC Viewer. 2.2.x is
currently at the Maintenance support level
(https://turbovnc.org/DeveloperInfo/Versioning) and will transition to
Extended (critical fixes only) once TurboVNC 3.1 is released.
TurboVNC does not have built-in audio support. See:

Hi,
currently I still use TurboVNC 2.2.7 (server on Ubuntu and native
Windows viewer). When I'm running the viewer in fullscreen mode, I
cannot hear any sounds from my Slack App (message ticks and calling
sounds). In lucky cases I can see a corresponding message displayed
by the Slack instance running on the remote host desktop. When I
switch off the fullscreen mode of the viewer, I can hear all Slack
sounds again. I think, Slack assumes, that I'm a gamer and don't want
to be disturbed, when my local display is in fullscreen mode. I
reported this as bug to Slack already. But they seem to be unable to
fix it (may be because too few users have the same issue). Is there
any chance to fix this issue on TurboVNC side? Or another question:
Is TurboVNC able to transfer any sounds from the remote host to the
viewer in any way? Is TurboVNC 3 able to achieve this?
