Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in panel-sound with `pkill -f io.elementary.wingpanel.`, then join a video call and inspect the microphone indicator's initial status. Trace how the indicator determines whether the microphone is active, and consider the issue done when it consistently reflects the actual microphone state on the listed Wayland setup.
