Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Bionic Beaver
gnome-control-center (gnome-sound-properties?)

I recently used sound input for the first time ever to attend a Zoom
session. I opened Settings > Sound > Inputs and saw that the microphone
was switched ON. In fact, it was disabled, and it was many days before I
realised that the ON/OFF toggle and the microphone state were out of
synch. So I was able to activate the microphone by toggling OFF then ON.

This is a bad usability issue.
