Failed units:

After some update last week, some apps like slack-desktop and whatsapp-nativier does not have audio/sound anymore.

Fixed using this procedure.

Here again for the click lazy ones :slight_smile:


If you don't have audio for electron-based apps, go to the audio configuration, play a sound in the electron-based app and make sure the device isn't muted as below.

If it's muted, just unmute it.

If you are not seeing it, you may click in the Show inactive devices button.
