Switching alert sound will not take effect unless you switch to Default alert first

[padmahas]

I installed April 5th's nightly build, of Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch).
Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04

The issue is,

Whichever the notification sound we choose after default, only that sound will take effect. Directly changing to another type of alert sound will not take effect.

To reproduce the problem,

1. Open terminal,
2. Open sound settings, initially it will be "default". Change that to some other alert sound, say, "Drip".
3. Switch to terminal and press backspace, you will hear "Drip".
4. Switch to sound settings, this time select "Glass".
5. Switch to terminal and press backspace, here is the issue. You will not hear "Glass". You will still hear "Drip".
6. Switch to sound settings, now select default first and then select "Glass".
7. Switch to terminal and press backspace, now you will hear "Glass".

So to summarize, if you want to change the alert sound, first you have to switch back to "Default" and then only whichever other alert sound you select, will take effect.
Since the release time is near, I thought it would be helpful to fix this before release.

Thank you.

Thank you for the bug report, I can confirm the issue.

Hum, now changing that settings isn't making g-t sound change anymore for some reasons...

@Sebastien,

I didn't understand what "g-t sound" means. But after you replied, I downloaded April 17th build again and I tested there. The behavior is same.

Am I missing anything here.

Thank you.

This is fixed in gnome-control-center 44 Alpha.
