Bug Description

On fresh install of Lubuntu 20.04:
- First login after Computer startup, no sound problem.
- User Account logout and login to another account => Very often, the sound is off (with a prohibited sign instead of the speaker in the dashboard).
And the status of Pulse audio is "connecting" when I call pavucontrol.

The way to get the sound again is to launch pulseaudio in a terminal or to reboot the computer.

I don't know exactly if it comes from the pulseaudio package or from the session manager package (sddm)
