Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open the application.
2. Create a new event with a notification set.
3. Wait for the notification to trigger at the scheduled time.
4. Observe that the notification sound plays continuously without stopping.

Expected behavior

The notification sound should play once when the event notification is triggered and then stop, allowing the user to acknowledge the notification without an endless sound loop.

Actual behavior

The notification sound plays in an infinite loop, repeating continuously until the user manually dismisses the notification.

The sound in the screen recording is low, but increasing the video sound can clearly make the notification sound be caught.

Thanks a lot. Great app and such a strange issue as I've never had it happen with any other app. Why is this not planned to be fixed on the app's end? Or why does the looping break and just keep spamming the sound until you take a look? Surely that's not the intended way that setting should work; least of all should it be on by default and users have to come find a solution in a closed GitHub issue.

I'm guessing it's an issue with specific setups / hardware?

Sorry if this message is unwanted: I'm just very curious.
