Heureka! I found out which app(s) trigger this behaviour (so it might not be a indicator-sound bug):
Starting skype with a LoginSound (this well known waking up sound) seems to trigger exactly the described behaviour. The sound icon goes red and stays red even if the sound already subsided... Strangely JDownloader seems to have the same effect. Although this app doesn't have sound at all it seems to do exactly the same. As far as I was able to test it, it's the only Java application that does this So this is something everyone should be able to reproduce, I'm pretty sure this is something not specific on my system -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301482 Title: ubuntu 14.04 - sound icon is always blocked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1301482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
