So it seems annoyingly that if I switch from one sound output device to the other, if I change the volume from the newly set mute to a different volume it automatically turns the other to mute (although randomly it does other things)... Now I'm also finding that if I turn the volume up, then switch and it goes to mute, if I then switch back without changing anything the volume goes to just above mute (but sometimes mute) on the one I am switching to. And I am seeing lots of other strange behaviour like this. I have attempted renaming the "~/.config/pulse" directory and then running "pulseaudio -k", but the problem still remains.
