Sound should display different icon when muted #12393
Comments
If you have music running (:musical_note: icon shown) and then mute your system, it shows the muted icon for 3 seconds and then switches back. See this contant:
So it looks to me, like this is a design decision. Is there a reason, why the current music player is more important than the mute icon? |
Oh, I see. It seems that it is trying to display the current volume for three seconds when adjusting the volume and then switches to show the music player icon. This makes sense when adjusting the volume, but is a bit funny when the sound is muted One of the things that's frustrating here is that even with the sound unmuted, my computer isn't actually playing any sound. I guess I must have some tab in Chrome which has a paused video or something, but it's super difficult to figure out which one that might be. It just says "Chrome - Stopped". After a lot of searching I found chrome://media-internals/, which helped me find one webpage with an ad containing a stopped video, but it shows two other stopped audio sources with not enough detail to figure out where they're coming from or what they are. I find myself jumping on to zoom calls and not realizing the sound is muted, which frequently added an extra minute or two of frustration to the beginning of a call trying to figure out where the problem resides. Now I know it's one of the first things to check, but would still prefer to see it at a glance before hopping on a call instead of having to right-click the icon after something's gone wrong There are a few potential changes that could be made here:
