SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.04.4 LTS / 2.11.16-5
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried with .mp3 files and .ogg files. Both of which the application says it supports.
KDE forums suggested installing libphonon4qt5-4 package which i did along with various gstreamer ones (as suggested by an "Ask Ubuntu" answer).
If kalarm package needs additional dependencies they should get added upon install or it should at least be suggested to install them.
