From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Issue with KDE Plasma 5 and Spotify (discuss.tchncs.de)

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:

OS: Debian 12 bookworm Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 DE: KDE 5.103.0 / Plasma 5.27.5 CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 @ 8x 4GHz GPU: GeForce GTX 745 GPU Driver: nouveau RAM: 8GB

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.
