Sometimes when i connect my ps4 controller for some reason my sound change to the sound from the ps4 controller 
Haha yeah I totally see your point, but other programs are playing audio at the same time. But could it be possible that only specific apps use the wrong audio device? 
Trying to install Telegram with
sudo snap install telegram-desktop --edge
now, let's see 
So, it's getting weirder and weirder. As soon as I play a media file within Telegram (Video or a voice mail), Telegram and the other apps (Whatsapp, Plexamp) stop playing audio 
What the heck?
Also, if I click on "play" on a media file in Telegram, instantly my Twitch.tv video stops playing, displaying a transcoder error What the actual heck is going on?
What audio system do you use ? Is is stereo or dolby ? hdmi cable or ?
@Aravisian maybe split the threat ?

Good point! I'm tinkering with the audio settings as well and mayyybe you can help. Also think splitting the threads might be good.
However: A few months back I tried to connect my shure microfone to the computer, which didn't work with Zorin's default pulse, so I installed pipewire as a workaround. Maybe this causes issues now with the Nvidia card/the changed setup?
Let me see if I can revert back to the default pulse audio and test
I have not been following along and am multi-tasking; If you could, please note which post should define the Split Point...
EDIT: TY Carmar...
Ooookay. After reverting back to default pulse, zorins settings app hung up, forcing me to hard reboot, now neither of my 3 monitors is displaying anything 
zorin boots and is stuck on the zorin logo, even though the system is booted 
Try grub and recovery mode ???

Same Kernel panic error message as yesterday when trying to enter recovery mode. Oh boy...
If it was my computer ... I would start over from scratch.

Probably the best thing I can do here, true
Never asked, but do you have a separate soundcard? (And I don't mean on-board sound.)
Hey there,
so I've been back to Windows, only come to find Zorin has spoiled me too much and now I clean installed Zorin again Just FYI.
It also seems like this is a general issue with my (audio) system, as the issues still go on after a clean install (Like wiping every bit of the previous installations and re-install it), but to answer your question precisely: No, I don't use a seperate soundcard, but my motherboard has some sound settings, gonna check those later

I assume the kernel panic error is gone ?

It most definitely is!
However, I can't be lucky this time around it seems. Now the freshly installed zorin OS isn't booting anymore..........
It's stuck on the motherboards splash screen. AM I SO MUCH OF A NOOB TO KEEP AN OPERATING SYSTEM RUNNING LONGER THAN TEA TIME? FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!
Some audio cards need small fixing.
What card you you have ?
I have an RTX 3090 from Zotac. Just nothing happens anymore....
Thats a gpu or do they come with soundcards these days ????
Oh sorry. I've read video card about the sound card I'm not sure which one comes with the MB I have. Will check later
