Bug Description
When starting a new call, the call will connect for around 2-8 seconds, before the entire application quits. If the sound has connected at all during that timespan, it will take the system sound with it, forcing a mute (which can be undone).
However, it will also create a white noise on the speakers that is unaffected by software (xfce4-mixer, pavucontrol, sound indicator menu) changes in volume, but is affected by mutes. Other audio can be played over the white noise, but the noise itself is irreversible until system shutdown.
To post a comment you must log in.
Workaround:
- open Pulseaudio Volume Control [pavucontrol]
- Tab: Configuration
- Under "Built In Audio", switch "Profile" to "Off" and then back to "Analogue Stereo Duplex"
