Since about a week I mis the notification bubble when changing volume or pluggin my headphone. I'am runnung ubuntu bionic with pure xfce4-session, meaning metapackage xubuntu-desktop is not on my system.
dbus-monitor --session interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'
signal time=1565429537.386265 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.73 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
string ":1.73"

string ":1.73"
Nothing listed after pluggin my headphone in or after command
pactl set-sink-volume 0 100%

I can't see any errors.
Note sound works well, other notification like guake are working.
sorry for so much text.
Edit, pulseaudio-plugin is configured, to send a notification if volume change.
Package xfce4-volumed is not on my system.
apt list --installed | egrep 'volumed|pulseaudio|pavucontrol'

P:S error is not in /home. Testuser and guest-session same.
Sorry, I found it. I was playing around with i3. Metapackage brings dunst on my System. After purging that package and reboot, notification for pulseaudion is fixed.
systemd[9580]: dunst.service: Two services allocated for the same bus name org.freedesktop.Notifications, refusing operation
.I found this in journal, this brings me on the right lane
