Exactly as the description says, The sound notifications are not working in Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon edition. In fact, I have never heard a sound out of kstars on my Linux Mint installs. I know sound works on the system because I have startup sounds. I have no doubt I am missing something trivial like an underlying sound package that is required by the system or maybe an environment variable. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
The update I installed today did not seem to fix the sound notifications. I see that several sounds were set, but when you click the play button in the Configure Notifications selections it does not make any sound. Again, I know sound works on my Linux Mint system because I hear sounds from everything else. Is there anything you want me to try or check?

I didn't have the phonon4qt5-backend-vlc package installed. I installed that. At first it did not work, but it did work after I rebooted the machine. I think we are good to go on this one now. Is there a way to make that a required package so this doesn't bite someone else?
