*Nuno Filipe Povoa is credited in the oxygen-sounds package. Includes the sounds from previous versions, as well as a few sounds taken from the freedesktop sound theme, which in turn originate from other sources. Specific attribution for each sound is currently not available, so the staff are not listed here. Two more sounds from the freedesktop sound theme were added.
The startup sound was disabled in 12.04 LTS. The freedesktop sound theme was added, a newer version than the one included with 8.10 Beta.

*Although no source was given, this is taken from KDE 4's oxygen-sounds sound theme, created by Nuno Filipe Povoa. The new Yaru sound theme was created by Mads Rosendahl (MadsRH) and is primarily a combination of the WoodenBeaver and Touch-Remix sound themes that he previously created as proposals; the latter is based on Ubuntu Touch sounds created by Jouni Helminen. Rosendahl is created in the Yaru theme's AUTHORS file but not under a specific role. The freedesktop sound theme is also still included.
Starting from 19.04, the sounds were slightly amplified. A logoff sound was added. While it was originally intended to be part of the Yaru sound theme, it had not been previously included to make logging off faster. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Ubuntu, the startup sound from 4.10 was added and enabled by default. It is still included in 25.04 and later, but disabled by default.
