Here are the steps to reproduce the bug (it happens every time): 1) Log into my account. Make sure the headset is connected. 2) Go to Sound Settings. Choose the one with headset icon as the audio output. Listen to a song using your media player of choice. 3) Using the audio slider in the top right, I can increase/decrease the volume properly. 4) Pause the song. 5) Lock the account (or hibernate the machine). 6) Log back in. What should happen: a) The sound should still play from the headset. b) The volume slider should still work properly. c) If you go to the Sound Settings, you should see the one with headset icon selected (just like screenshot). What actually happens: a) The sound DOES play from the headset. b) However, the volume slider doesn't increase/decrease the volume. c) Also, when I go to Sound Settings, I see the built-in audio called HEADPHONES is selected. Somehow the sound output device gets changed in the setting (BAD), but I still hear the sounds out of the previously selected device (GOOD).
