Description David 2021-08-30 22:11:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
Whenever I start JuK, it starts with the volume muted and I have to manually adjust it someone else.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch JuK.
2. As it will launch muted, set the volume to some custom setting.
3. Close JuK and launch it again.

OBSERVED RESULT
Starts again muted, ignoring the setting that was configured before.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should keep the volume that was configured before.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 David 2021-08-30 22:14:18 UTC 
On further inspection, this happens only when disabling the option "Dock in system tray". If that setting is turned on, then it will remember the volume next time instead of starting muted.

This bug seems to be related to the just posted bug where the volume gets reset to -2million%... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452191
Comment 3 David 2022-04-05 07:13:56 UTC 
Bug is kind of solved in the latest version. It keeps the volume now, but doesn't show how much volume it has.

Sorry to hear that, but that isn't the latest running specs for Juk. You're one major version behind where it is fixed. I'm referring to Plasma 6, Qt 6, Frameworks 6. 

To get a newer version on the current version of Debian you're using, you'd be best off installing Juk from flatpak or snap, which have the latest version.
