OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

Screencap demonstration of the bug on the icons-only task manager
SUMMARY
If you use the task manager to mute an Electron application, its audio settings
seem to be shared between other electron apps, because it will mute others. It
doesn't apply to all Electron apps, for instance, Discord is unaffected. But
apps like FreeTube, Signal, and Chromium itself are affected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Chromium, FreeTube, and/or Signal, IntelliJ, etc.
2. Play sound in one of these apps
3. Mute an app that isn't playing sound
OBSERVED RESULT
The app that was playing sound is now muted
EXPECTED RESULT
The app that was playing sound should not be muted because you muted a
different app

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems this is much less likely to happen if the applications aren't
Flatpaks. Interestingly though, if you have a Chromium Flatpak and an
Electron-based NON-Flatpak app (e.g. a portable binary or an Appimage) open
together, the issue still occurs, although other Electron Flatpaks seem
unaffected when this is done.
