Public bug reported:

A fresh install of 19.10 does not have sound for new incoming
notifications. Using the notify-send or alert CLIs don't produce sound
either.

System sounds level is at 100%. All application types in the
notification settings have Sound Alerts enabled.

I've experienced this on 3 separate machines: 
- A newer AMD 3700x machine using USB audio
- Older Intel 5th gen using USB audio
- 2018 Huawei Matebook X Pro with both built-in speakers and USB audio

It makes the system difficult to use when relying on important
notifications from messaging or email applications for example when they
don't produce sound, especially on multi-monitor setups where the
notification may be missed, or I'm turned away momentarily.
