Incorrect devices shown in indicator

[ezracelli]

What Happened?

I have the following audio devices connected:

• USB microphone with headphone jack (AT2020USB+) — source & sink
• Webcam (Logitech C920 Pro) — source
• 2x DisplayPort (RX570) — sink
• Motherboard audio controller — source & sink

I always use the USB mic as my source. For my sink, I switch between headphones plugged into the USB mic and speakers plugged into the motherboard's audio controller.

The indicator shows the incorrect active and "preferred" sinks (see screenshots below).

Steps to Reproduce

In the following screenshots, my USB mic is set as my source & my sink.

The indicator incorrectly shows that my motherboard audio controller is the active sink, it does not show the USB mic at all, and it also shows one of my DisplayPort in the "preferred" list (I have never used these sinks).

Settings app shows the correct system state.

If it helps, here's the gsettings schema:

$ gsettings list-recursively io.elementary.desktop.wingpanel.sound
-- snip --
io.elementary.desktop.wingpanel.sound preferred-devices {'alsa_card.usb-audio-technica_AT2020USB_-00:analog-input-mic': 1690092205, 'alsa_card.pci-0000_0b_00.3:analog-output-lineout': 1690051439}

Expected Behavior

The indicator should show the correct active and "preferred" devices.

I see the same with a USB DAC connected to my computer (a mid-2011 iMac). The DAC is correctly shown as being the active device in the settings, but the indicator doesn't even show it and says that the internal speakers are the currently active sink.

This is on elementary OS 7.1 with all updates applied at the time of this writing.
