Hi everyone,
I’m running Bazzite (based on Fedora Kinoite) with KDE Plasma 6.4.0 on Wayland, and I’m trying to disable the sound that’s played when changing the system volume (e.g., using volume keys on the keyboard).
What I’ve Tried So Far:
dconf write /org/kde/plasma/volumefeedback/enabled false
Edited
~/.config/plasma_workspace.notifyrc
with[Event/volumeChanged] Sound=
Overwrote local sound theme files like
audio-volume-change.oga
,dialog-information.oga
, etc.Disabled the bell (
xset b off
)Replaced all relevant
.oga
files with silent ones viaffmpeg
Tried with different sound themes (
Breeze
,freedesktop
,Oxygen
) — no change
Since Bazzite uses rpm-ostree, I can’t patch or remove the plasma-pa
binary or system files directly.
What I Suspect:
The sound seems to be hardcoded in the plasma-pa
volume widget (likely using QSoundEffect
) and not controlled via notification themes, notifyrc
, or dconf
. That makes it hard to intercept or disable using standard config methods.
What I’m Asking:
- Has anyone figured out a way to completely disable the volume feedback sound in KDE Plasma 6 on Bazzite?
- Is this a known upstream Plasma issue? Or is it possible to patch or configure around it?
- Are there any Bazzite-specific tricks or PipeWire/WirePlumber hooks to mute this reliably?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
