Gnome sound setting changes by itself.
by abejarano from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F2TB)
Hi and thanks!
I am using Ubuntu 20.04. My sound settings get set to zero volume occasionally and I do not understand why. the changes seem to happen when I turn off a using program or turn the computer off. I did install KDE desktop and then removed all of it except for Krusader because it is similar and better than explorer.exe.
