Not Unmuting after Unlock on Discrete GPU
I have WinMute set to mute on system lock and restore when unlocked:
But when I unlock the next day, the audio is still muted.
I have enabled logging and I believe the problem is that WinMute seems to lose track of the NVidia discrete GPU audio device. WinMute sees NVIDIA High Definition Audio on system lock, but for some reason doesn't see it on system unlock:

Could you please investigate if this is a bug? I suppose it may be possible that the discrete GPU audio device isn't initialized until after sign-in. I could potentially disable power savings for that device, but it would be really wonderful if WinMute could monitor for audio devices being added even after unlock and restore them to their previous state. This could be done, for example, using:
