SUMMARY In certain circumstances, the microphone tray applet isn't toggling the selected device. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Plugin in a headset with a microphone, have a application requesting the mic running 2. Select the device which was already there before as the sound source. 3. Middle click on the microphone tray applet to toggle mute. OBSERVED RESULT The new device's sound is toggled, despite the other one beeing selected as the sound source. See the video for demonstration. EXPECTED RESULT The currently selected microphone device should be toggled.

I have had this happen a few times. I think it might be better to just have the mute action mute everything, not just the selected device.

Created attachment 137214 [details] wrong device volume is updated (now h264 video) I've noticed the video was encoded with h265, which browser sadly don't support yet, so i've uploaded it with h264. Also, I just reconfirmed the bug with Plasma 5.21.3 Also, I want to point out, that it is not exactly a duplicate, since #435142 is about changing the default mic only, while this bug is about the issue that (under certain circumstances) the current default mic is **not** toggled. However, both would be resolved if the toggle-option would just toggle all mics, wether they are the default or not, that's why you marked them as duplicate, @Nate isn't it?
Oh, you're right. So sorry!
I can't reproduce with current neon unstable - with 3 microphones connected, left clicking or middle clicking the microphone icon in the system tray setting will mute/unmute all microphones.
