Yes, KMix. I can't say that it's the problem, nor did I, but with the audio settings open with the title: Mixer (Playback devices) ---KMix. I could see the mute indicator for my sound card light up and the volume drop to zero every time it happened. I mentioned it to be thorough. The only other app I had open the whole time was Evolution Email client, and although it too has been acting strange, or rather Spamassassin is putting all of my emails in the Junk folder despite having worked for years, that only started yesterday, quite a few hours before the muting stopped, and 2 days after the mute issue started. I never had it set to audible notifications either which would be every ten minutes if I had, not at random, and so didn't see it as a likely culprit. Sorry David, but I don't understand what you mean by "Next time please check with plasmashell not running to narrow this down." Where should I check, because I see no such option here, and that's rather vague? Since plasmashell is and was running besides the muting problem, I wouldn't even think of that if I did see it, and on that note: I did have a hard time trying to select the "Product" and "Component" in filing this, and "Media player" also didn't come to mind, because I don't see "general audio" output as a Media player, but rather the back end, Audacity is my media player, Firefox my browser, and both were muted at random (all audio was). There are many components listed, I have no idea what they all are for, some are even for older KDE stuff. A system to help narrow a problem down before filing would be of great help to those who don't know them all either. If people have to guess, you can't expect them to get it right. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
