Bug ID: 511576
Summary: Regression in user experience muting/unmuting behavior
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Audio in general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Starting with Plasma 6.5 (and still and issue with Plasma 6.5.1) the laptop is
unmuted when connected to a docking station or any external display with
built-in speakers. This, together with the recent change of enabling sounds
when attaching external devices by default, can be problematic when there is an
expectation of silence, e.g. in an office or library.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Mute laptop
2. Connect to docking station
3. Laptop plays a sound because of the external device attached (multiple
times! I guess because one sound for external monitor, another one for the USB
hub ,etc.) and it becomes unmuted.
OBSERVED RESULT
The audio state before attaching the laptop (muted) is not respected.
EXPECTED RESULT
The audio state should not be changed regarding if the new external device
supports audio or not. I think this is what most people expect. If you laptop
is muted, then you have to unmute if you connect to an external TV or docking
station. If it's not muted, it can use the current volume levels for the new
audio devices.
