This PR fixes an issue where clicking the speaker icon in the Cinnamon sound applet popup would only mute audio but not restore/unmute it.

Before: Clicking the icon muted sound, but subsequent clicks had no effect.

After: Clicking the icon now correctly toggles between mute and unmute.

Steps to test

Build and restart Cinnamon (Alt+F2 → r → Enter).

Open the sound applet from the panel.

Click the speaker icon next to the volume slider:

First click → mutes audio.

Second click → unmutes audio.

I’ve noticed that while this fix works in most cases, there are rare situations where clicking the sound icon doesn’t unmute as expected. I’m still trying to identify the exact trigger, but wanted to flag it here so reviewers are aware

Hi @mtwebster , just wondering if this fix is valid and if there’s any feedback I should take into account. I’d really like to understand if I’m approaching this the right way, so I can improve my future contributions. Thanks!
