Mos= t of the time, I can't turn it on using GNOME controls for sound, I have to= reboot to get sound back. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Boot the Guix System. 2. Log in to the GNOME desktop. 3. Check that the system volume is up by moving the mouse wheel over the vo= lume icon (top-rigth). 3. Play some audio or video to make sure sound works. 4. Log out. 5. Log back in. ## Unexpected result * The system sound is silenced. The icon to the top-right corner of the des= ktop displays an x mark. * Sometimes hovering over the sound icon and increasing the volume with the= mouse wheel is enough to get sound again. * Most of the time, doing the same as above changes the icon to a state tha= t represents that the volume is up now, but you can't hear anything when pl= aying audio or video. * In the latter case, when you go to "GNOME Control Center =E2=86=92 Sound"= , the system volume slider is set to silence and the rest of the sound cont= rols appear grayed out, they are disabled (https://multimedialib.files.word= press.com/2020/01/sound-controls-disabled-2020-01-09.png). Turning up the s= ystem volume there does not fix sound. If I reboot, sound works again. (Also, after step 4, when you are in the log in screen, the sound icon is i= n silenced state. I don't know, but if sound is silenced automatically once= you enter the login screen, screen readers could be affected negatively...= ) ## Expected result * The system volume is up (on the same level you left it when you logged ou= t). * Sound works when you play audio or video. * When you go to "GNOME Control Center =E2=86=92 Sound", sound controls are= not disabled. ## Additional information At least another person has experienced something similar.
