[GNOME] Bootup Sounds Not Working

EDIT: Is there a way to do in-line code tags? Was trying to make the formatting nice for readability...

I like how Ubuntu and Mint have login and logout sounds, and I was hoping I could do something similar in GNOME on Arch.

Following the libcanberra Wiki Page, I've installed

libcanberra

,

sound-theme-freedesktop

, and

ubuntu-sounds

, and I've enabled the

canberra-system-bootup service

(and rebooted), but I still don't get any login/logout sounds.

I also tried installing

libcanberra-gstreamer

and

libcanberra-pulse

thinking perhaps I needed one of them, but that made no difference either.

I've looked for

org.gnome.desktop.sound schema

in dconf editor, but under

desktop

there is no

sound schema

entry to edit.

I've just double checked my running and enabled services and found something odd.

canberra-system-bootup.service

,

canberra-system-shutdown-reboot.service

, and

canberra-system-shutdown.service

are all listed as enabled, but when I check running services, none of them are listed.

If I do

systemctl enable canberra-system-bootup.service

, I get no errors but nothing changes in my running services.

What am I missing here?
