Public bug reported:
If audio is muted, then instead of the volume level arcs in front of the
speaker icon, there is an x. Mute button needs to be pressed to get
sound. Volume keys still affect the volume setting, but there is no
visual indication of that on the icon, or any audio indication because
audio is muted.
If volume is turned all of the way down, the exact same icon is
displayed. The volume needs to be increased to get sound. The mute
button does actually work, but nothing seems to happen when you press
it, because the same icon with the x is displayed always, and there is
never any sound due to volume being turned down.
If you think that sound was muted but the volume was only turned all the
way down, you press the mute button, but nothing changes. Then if you
try to increase the volume again nothing changes, because you just muted
sound.
This is ridiculously confusing.
