Using xprop on the window that pops up confirms that it is<br>
xfce4-notifyd. (run xprop in one window, volup/voldown when displays<br>
are working, and click on the popup): <br>
<br>
linuxuser@ubuntu:~$ xprop<br>
_NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 4294967295<br>
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE, _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER<br>
<br>
[... stuff skipped ...]<br>
<br>
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xfce4-notifyd", "Xfce4-notifyd"<br>
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "xfce4-notifyd"<br>
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "xfce4-notifyd"<br>
WM_NAME(STRING) = "xfce4-notifyd"<br>
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "xfce4-notifyd"<br>
<br>
<br>
However, on my testing system killing this process did nothing. There<br>
is another daemon (which the internet says is obsolete?) called<br>
xfce4-volumed which appears to be the culprit: <br>
<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed</a><br>
<br>
When I ran the following:<br>
<br>
$ pkill xfce4-volumed<br>
$ xfce4-volumed <br>
<br>
the notifications started working for me again. (I was able to<br>
reproduce Khalid's problemĀ after killing pulseaudio.)<br>
