Description Florian 2023-07-09 19:33:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
When you click on the microphone icon in the task bar to mute/un-mute, the message that pops up on-screen shows the opposite of what you've done.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the microphone icon in the bottom right (task bar) to mute/un-mute.

OBSERVED RESULT
If you click to mute, the message that pops up on-screen shows 'Volume 100%'.
If you click the icon again to un-mute, the message says 'Microphone Muted'.

EXPECTED RESULT
The opposite on-screen messages for the respective actions.

Can confirm.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-09-12 21:10:56 UTC 
The problem seems to be that when we get to MicrophoneIndicator::volumePercent(), source->isMuted() returns the opposite of what it should.

Confirmed on Debian Trixie (updated 2026-06-10). This is likely a = and ! confusion.
Comment 7 Simon Jackson 2026-06-10 10:07:58 UTC 
Does the mute status of the interface actually change fast enough in a multithreading to supply such upto date information? I can't move my mouse fast enough to actually click the OSD for any use. A click hold supplies more information for a user, so is this OSD just unnecessary?

microphoneindicator: Show correct information in OSD when using to toggle mute

When toggling 'mute all' for source devices by clicking on the microphone
indicator widget, sometimes update signal comes from a different device first,
causing osd to show un-updated info. This ensuers that OSD only shown when
default device is the one sending the update signal.
FIXED-IN: 6.8.0
