    Note that the desktop-session startup sound is played early in the startup process, before Pipewire has even been started, so it’s played directly on ALSA.

    A missing file definitely seems most likely. desktop-session doesn’t ship with any startup sounds, you have to provide them yourself.

    If you do have the $HOME/.desktop-session/startup.wav file, then maybe try playing it with

    play $HOME/.desktop-session/startup.wav

    You could also try commenting out the ‘pipewire &’ line in the startup file, rebooting, and playing the file with the above command, which should be a closer approximation to what desktop-session does.
