Right, but:

In that case, they were always supposed to make those event sounds, there 
was a bug somewhere which prevented those sounds from being audible. 
(Actually, as far as I know, the bug is still present, but the sound event 
files were replaced with files which don't trigger the bug.) So this is not 
a settings change, it's a bug which got fixed / worked around.

You can run "systemsettings" from a terminal or a "run command" interface.

(I think we should reconsider the decision of having KDE's System Settings 
only shown in the menu in KDE/Plasma sessions, I'll bring this up in our KDE 
SIG meetings.)

As I said, those sounds were always enabled by default, there was just a bug 
which prevented them from being heard.
