Huh, never noticed that there was no sound.

Pretty sure the Steam Deck plays a sound for notifications and achievments, I do not remember for desktop either though ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I don't know, but I've found this in july 6th's update notes: "Added a toggle in notification settings to turn on/off sounds for non-critical notifications."

I don't comprehend the draw for every little thing in our lives to make noise. If I could turn off 90% of the noises my devices make on their own, I'd be much happier.

I hope we end up with custom sounds!
