Oh, and by the way, often it does not even become red in the first place when some sound starts playing while the volume is muted.
Both becoming red and going back to normal are COMPLETELY UTTERLY RANDOM. (or there's some logic behind it that is so convoluted that it is incomprehensible and renders the "feature" of becoming red, to notify you of something, completely useless) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738034 Title: Muted Sound Indicator randomly remains red when no sound is playing Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Mute the main Ubuntu volume 2. Play some short sound Expected behavior: Obviously you won't hear the sound. While the sound plays, the indicator should become red; then, when the sound is done playing and nothing else is playing, either immediately or after a very short period (e.g. a couple of seconds), the indicator should go back to its normal color. Observed behavior: Sometimes it behaves as expected, but sometimes it will remain red forever, until you unmute it. It's utterly random.
