"Noisy" notifications for all messages on Linux desktop app

[PrivacyFriendlyMuffins]

Steps to reproduce

I recently switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint, and while the default behavior on Windows was to only have an audible—or "noisy" as the settings call it—notification when my name is mentioned or as a reply to a comment I made, on Linux the default behavior is to have an audible notification for all messages.

It seems to only be the case in Favorited rooms, but I can't be certain of this.

There is an option in each room's individual settings: "@mentions and keywords", but frankly to do that with every channel would be unnecessarily tedious, I feel. So, I have it set to Default, or, rather, I never took it off Default.

That being said, there doesn't seem to be an option for this in the app-wide settings.

Outcome

What did you expect?

That the Linux version of Element desktop has the same default behavior as the Windows default behavior, that being only making an audible—or "noisy"—notification for @mentions and keywords.

What happened instead?

For at least Favorited rooms, every message is given an audible notification.

All the desktop apps behave the same given the notifications are handled by the Element Web embedded within Electron, though it may be that your OS is playing sound for the pop-up notification even though we signal for it not to. I doubt logs will be helpful here.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Thank you.

To your knowledge, is there a way to make Linux Mint 22.1 respect said signal?

[t3chguy]

I don't use Linux Mint so no, though I don't know for sure that is what is happening. Is the notification sound the same as you've come to expect (and probably hate) from Element or a different sound? If it is Mint's own sound then you'd have to find a way to turn it off in Mint. Element only ever plays its own notification sound.

Fair enough.

How do I find out what notification file it's using? The Linux app doesn't provide an option for a custom notification sound in Settings. Or, at least, I presume it doesn't, since I didn't see an option in Settings > Notifications.

How do I find out what notification file it's using?

Using your ears. Does it sound like your OS' notification sound or like https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/res/media/message.mp3

Clearly, yes, that's an option. Sorry, I didn't think of that. I was more just wondering if there was a particular file directory with a .wav file or whatever.

In any case, yes, it sounds exactly like that. And also different from the default system notification sound.

Top comment above: "(Okay, I downloaded the rageshake.tar log files, but I can't figure out how to upload them to this post...)"

I click the option Paste, drop, or click to add files found at the bottom of the page, and the .tar file is not listed as a support file format.

[t3chguy]

Yes, I just told you where to look for instructions.

see the issue template on how to submit the logs.

It is in the same place you marked Yes to the question Will you send logs?

Doi. Of course. Sorry, my brain had a hiccup there. Haha.

That being said, that's a method for sending logs I've never seen before.

And that being said, done. Logs sent.
