Since I upgraded to Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 using Firefox and GNOME 3.14 I stopped getting desktop notifications (no visual or sound), although now that I have upgraded to GNOME 3.16 I am getting, delayed, but still the visual built-in notifications. Though still no sound, and every time that I do get pinged I notice this message in my Firefox console log:

So I am wondering why I am getting this, in what, and how to fix it?

This issue may be occurring because there are no packages available to decode the MP3 sound file. They may have been present on your previous installation but lost during the upgrade.

Check to see if you have a package to perform the decoding (such as ubuntu-restricted-extras).
