Description Mohd Yusuf 2021-03-28 18:35:31 UTC

Description of problem:
I have Logitech MX Keys keyboard, initially pressing the volume keys shows the Mac-ish volume slider on the screen and it makes bloop-bloop sound when keypress as on Macs.
But when I toggle the "System Sounds" in the "Settings" app, suddenly this disappear completely. I cant even hear a sliver of low volume of the bloop sound at all - even cranking up both "System Volume" and "System Sounds" to the max.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Whichever comes with Fedora 34 beta (updated to the brim as the time of typing)

How reproducible:
Press volume keys on keyboard few times, enjoy the bloop-bloop sound. Then go to "Settings" app move the sliders here and there, and enjoy the terrible mistake you have made.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As described above.
2.
3.

Actual results:
No more bloop-bloop sound.

Expected results:
Bloop-bloop sound should continue blooping.

It looks like a pipewire or gnome shell issue. Reassigning.

Comment 2 Mohd Yusuf 2021-03-29 06:36:21 UTC

Okay, I am not sure what I did, somehow that magically started working again. I did however did two reboots prior to creating this bug report - and the problem was still there.

Now, I can hear the bloop sound again, after "theoretically" done nothing. The only one additional I did was install Gnome Tweaks to set the "Dark Mode" since the bug report, and nothing else that would explain any change of behavior.

Comment 3 Mohd Yusuf 2021-03-29 06:41:21 UTC

Ah!! Okay, now I reproduced it.

So, apparently if you have the "Setting" app open and selected the "Sound" category and leave it aside (dont close window), the bloop sound is gone.

While the bloop sound is gone (having the Setting app aside) you can then open any other window like Youtube for example and sound would just work fine. Only that volume slider notification is not working.

If then you select any other Setting category, say Background for example, the notification bloop sound works again. So yeah, it is a niche problem.
