I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
Problem Description
There is this cool notification sound feature which is described as follows:
Chat Completion Notifications: Stay updated with instant in-UI notifications when a chat finishes in a non-active tab, ensuring you never miss a completed response.
On Linux under wayland, google-chrome does not properly detect whether a window is inactive. Thus, the cool notification sound is never played.
Desired Solution you'd like
It would be great to have an option to always play the notification sound - no matter whether the tab is active or not.
Alternatives Considered
There is really nothing I can do right now besides considering (a) using x11 instead of wayland or (b) using another browser. I found no way to make google-chrome register whether it is on an active workspace or not. It always thinks that it is the active window.

I switched to firefox just for open-webui for now. If it is really only me experiencing this issue after all, feel free to close this issue somewhen. Just wanted to know your guys' thoughts on this.

I consider implementing this myself and PR it. Could someone quickly point out where to find the function which plays the notification sound?

Sorry I don't know but try searching the repository for notification in the search. GitHub search is pretty poweful in a sense that it allows you to search all files content
