Hey everyone,

I’m facing an issue with KDE Plasma 5 on Debian 12. Whenever I skip a song on Spotify, the notification sound plays. I’ve come across suggestions in other forums to simply mute notifications, but I still want to receive notifications. Therefore, muting notifications is not an option for me.

I have disabled all Spotify notifications in the notification manager, yet I’m unsure how the sound still persists. I don’t want to disable notification sounds in the Plasma Workspace, as mentioned earlier.

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Specs might help:

    I remember having some issue like that, but I’m not sure if this was the fix.

    Try unchecking “Show desktop notifications when the song changes” on Spotify’s settings (right now it’s under the Display section).

      Thanks, that fixed it. I did not know that Spotify has its own settings.

    I use Debian 12. I use Spotify. And I don’t have this issue.

    What I have had is various issues with kernel 6.1.0-21. I’m currently using 6.1.0-18 on my laptop and 6.1.0-15 on my desktop and the issue I had are gone. Because of my experience, I’d suggest trying those kennels.
