Once in a while, when I resume after suspending or restart the laptop, there are some issues with sound.

Under Sound tab in Settings, everything remains faded.

here's the output of sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -a "Nov 2" | grep -i -E "sound|audio"

I can't reproduce this issue.

Let me know if any other information is required.

Any pointers or solution will be helpful. Thanks.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
