Thank you for your bug report, what would you expect exactly? A video call to automatically mute sound effects on your computer? What software do you use for the video call? It should probably be the one handling such changes Also would you expect only effects to be muted or any sound?

Thus, if I press backspace in an empty terminal, my contacts in a video-call can hear the default bell sound making *pling*. When opening the System > Audio on Gnome I can see a rise on the volume bar as well. A workaround exists by disabling the alert sounds as described in the docs: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/sound-alert.html.en This has been the default since installation for me and drives my contacts crazy. :-) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-33.37-generic 5.4.34 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-33-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: jl 3027 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: jl 3027 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: jl 3027 F...m pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Jun 6 10:53:55 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-24 (42 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: alsa-driver Symptom: audio Symptom_Card: ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock USB Audio - ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock USB Symptom_PulseAudioLog: Jun 05 20:03:08 x1c dbus-daemon[1617]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1' unit='rtkit-daemon.service' requested by ':1.37' (uid=125 pid=2067 comm="/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no --log-target=jo" label="unconfined") Jun 05 20:03:24 x1c systemd[2021]: pulseaudio.service: Succeeded.
