<p dir="auto">I'm a fan of Opera GX as many of you. For me it's the most cozy, stylish and fast browser ever. For many years I've used standard Opera, but now, only GX.</p>
<p dir="auto">Till yesterday I didn't use social networks that are located in a sidebar. I decided to start using it. And... I found out such an annoying thing, <strong>VK</strong> social network <strong>doesn't play sound notification</strong> of new messages.</p>
<p dir="auto">For example, I also connected with my WhatsApp account, and it works just fine, plays a sound, shows notification with the message when a new message arrives. What's wrong with <strong>VK</strong>? It only shows a circle of a new message on the icon and that is all, no pop-up, no sound.<br />
I can't tell did it worked before or not, cuz I've just started to use it, but it's kinda weird.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm not just a regular user, I tried many things:<br />
— In VK sidebar app I checked in settings and Enabled all about notifications, everything is Enabled.<br />
— In Opera "Site Settings" - "Notifications" - all notifications are allowed, and also added as exclusion of allowed notifications address <a href="https://m.vk.com:443" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://m.vk.com:443</a><br />
— Javascript is also allowed in Opera settings<br />
— I thought, maybe third-party software is making this issue. I have on my laptop installed Kaspersky Total Security and Adguard for Windows 7.6.1.<br />
I've turned them all off, nothing. Also checked Adguard maybe it has some filters on VK enabled, nope.<br />
— I started to dig further. Turning off all installed extensions in Opera GX, nothing.<br />
— In despair already, I deleted Opera GX completely from my laptop, cleaning all leftovers, such as folders/files and registry recordings. I did a Clean installation of Opera GX again, and with disabled antivirus, disabled adguard, and with 0 extensions first of all I tried to check if VK social network in sidebar works... Nope! Still the same. No sound of new messages.</p>
<p dir="auto">Jesus Christ, what else can I do to fix this issue? Does anybody else use VK social network in sidebar? Or anybody have/had same issue as me?</p>
<p dir="auto">Opera GX is updated. Version is LVL 3 (core: 77.0.4054.298)</p>

Same about sidebar notifications. The problem is not on your side, it's an old global bug that is not going to be fixed.</p>
