Error sound startup plasma 6 3.3 opensuse & fedora kde

in kde plasma 6.3.3 (opensuse tumbleweed & fedora kde spin), the “startup sound” there is no sound, off the beginning of the process, and it only sounds the last few seconds

It’s the same under KDE Neon, the startup sound is hit and miss at best. I find it odd that a startup sound wasn’t a problem back in the day of Windows XP, but seems to be a problem under a modern OS such as KDE Neon.

Hi! There have been a couple prior instances where conditions seemed to line up at login time to cause the sound to get cut off:

I don’t personally know, but maybe it’s possible that an issue could occur that’s the inverse of this one, if the system defaults to muted and needs to have an unmuted state restored? 500408 – Login sound plays before volume mute state is restored

Can you see if your system defaults to the audio being muted, perhaps?
