Description David C. T. 2025-04-10 21:57:42 UTC

SUMMARY
Whenever I start a Discord call, a speaker icon also appears next to the Bitwarden icon. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Bitwarden and Discord on KDE Fedora 42
2. Start an audio call on Discord

OBSERVED RESULT
An speaker icon appears next to the Bitwarden icon on the taskbar.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no icon on Bitwarden, as it is a password manager and it has no sound.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Fedora 42
