I assume that the other person uses Pulseaudio aswell as it was said to be on GuixSD. The bug is, you have to close every possible open application which could make use of sound input/output (webbrowser, IM, etc) then shake the random dice pair and hope that Mumble detected your sound devices. If it didn't, you have to wait some seconds and restart Mumble and repeat it until your sound devices appear to be working. This is annoying and can leave you with the impression that it doesn't work - but it does work. A) What is the cause of this problem and B) How do we fix it or point it out?
