Sometimes, when saying "Hey Mycroft" while Mycroft hasn't yet restored the volume will trigger the VolumeSkill again and cause it to believe the last known volume was 0. This causes the VolumeSkill to "restore" the volume to 0 when unmuting, effectively keeping Mycroft muted forever until the user manually restores the volume setting in ALSA/PulseAudio.
- I'm running Picroft
- With version 19.8.5 of the Mycroft software
- With the standard Wake Word
Try to provide steps that we can use to replicate the Issue
For example:
- Install the Spotify skill
- Say "Hey Mycroft"
- Wait for Mycroft to beep
- Say "Play the album proxy by Being as an Ocean"
- Say "Hey Mycroft" again
- Mycroft stays muted until manually restoring the ALSA settings.
Be as specific as possible about the expected condition, and the deviation from expected condition.
Expected: Mycroft sets its volume back to the previous level
Actual: Mycroft sets its volume back to 0
