When I click on my sound option on task bar, whole of my desktop freezes

[ghazipour]

Hi dear manjaro lovers.
I’ve been using manjaro for two years and everything is done well; but when I click on my audio option on my task bar, whole of my desktop often freezes.
It especially happens when I click show additional options option and change to another port.
I’ll be very grateful if you solve my issue.

Post logs from when it happens. E.g. journalctl -S -10m -p4 --no-pager will show last 10 minutes.

Thanks for your replay; I don’t know why but it’s been fixed and how much I use it, it doesn’t freeze .
