I setup arch from the arch install script but then manually installed gnome-shell gdm nautilus ptyxis gnome-control-center, and necessary applications like clocks, characters, papers, code-OSS, firefox, etc...
Bluetooth, pipewire etc are working fine and necessary system sounds (I think its called some freedesktop sound files) and other notification daemons are working right.

My arch version (up to date as per 3 Aug 2026):
Linux archlinux 7.1.5-arch1-2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 28 Jul 2026 13:49:51 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Now when I run gnome-clocks, select alarm sounds, click on a few, the app freezes and then I need to 'Force Quit' it
Terminal logs:
[dwaipayan@archlinux ~]$ gnome-clocks
(org.gnome.clocks:6983): org.gnome.Clocks-WARNING **: 23:36:24.143: geocoding.vala:42: Failed to connect to GeoClue2 service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Geolocation disabled for UID 1000

Kindly guide on how to fix this and get the sound.
Does it require some another package for sound files or is it a known bug with clocks.
Sound files in my system:
[dwaipayan@archlinux ~]$ ls -l /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/
