Sound notification not working #50

Closed markovic-nikola closed 2 years ago

markovic-nikola commented 2 years ago

Hi, Thank you for this app, and the work you have put in.

As the title says, I'm not hearing a notification sound when receiving new messages. It does show the notification itself, but I'm not hearing the sound alert.

Platform

google-chat-electron 2.13.0 Electron 16.0.1 linux 5.15.5-76051505-generic Locale: en-US GNOME Shell 40.4.0 OS: Pop!_OS 21.10

I can test this behavior on my Ubuntu 20.04 gnome, I will report back here

ankurk91 commented 2 years ago

Tested on 2 VMs, Ubuntu 20.04 gnome and MacOS 10.15, There was no sound when a notification appears in app.

Need to find out if electron natively support this feature or not.

markovic-nikola commented 2 years ago

Yup, I can confirm the issue is happening on the macOS 12.0 as well.

Looks like this feature is not supported well by electron

Now it seems to be supported (not sure how the documentation looked in December)

Can help you test it on Mac if you want ;)

ankurk91 commented 2 years ago

This documentation is there from last 2 years :)

This app shows notification coming from renderer process, but this doc suggest to use background process.

I dont know why notification sound is so important for people, i keep my desktop notification on silent, since I can see them coming in my monitor right corner.
