Hi there, I’m new to Nix - but i’m not sure if this is a Nix or a KDE specific issue or not. So basically I just opened my laptop this morning, and whilst typing in my password, the audio from the movie I was watching (via Jellyfin) started to play before I had actually logged in. I assume this is the system getting things ready and loaded for a better/faster user experience. But personally don’t want this to happen, or to at least have all sound muted when starting up the computer.

Does anyone know how to go around this “issue”? Or could explain to my why it happens?

Appreciate you 🌻

    Some quick research on my end seems to suggest there’s a setting for that scenario in advanced power settings called “Pause media players when suspending”, I’d try that before anything else

    Edit: As for why it happens, assuming it woke up from suspension/hibernation, for the most part programs are going to pick up exactly where they left off unless the system goes out of its way to tell them to perform some action (in this case, pausing). Since your lock screen is pretty much “on top” of the entire running system, so to speak, it results in the behavior you’re experiencing.
