From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really like being able to disable the mute-sound button on the task icons, since I sometimes misclick on them during meetings... And once I had apparently done that and turned off the sound for slack, so my huddle didn't have any sound. Took me like 15 mins to find the reason since I thought it had to do with pulseaudio...
This one threw me off. I'd muted discord by mistake. Weirdly voice still works. I spent ages checking and double checking settings to see why I wasn't getting notification sounds and the ptt sound. Dismissing any mute possibility because voice was working.
When I found it was this....
IIRC it is possible to disable the indicators altogether, although that may or may not be an acceptable solution to you. For me it was worth the trade-off because of exactly this reason.
I tried to find where it was but can't find it...
