Summary0008874: Mute button disabled on vocal tracks only
DescriptionI cannot get individual vocal tracks or the entire vocals group (when enabled) to mute. By itself (no solos), clicking the M button has no effect on the button. It remains off.

If I solo another track, all other tracks mute, but the the mute on the vocal tracks does not work. Specificlaly, the vocal M button will outline yellow along with the others but will not actually mute.
Steps To ReproduceAttempt to mute a vocal track by clicking the Mute button. No response.

Solo a track and see vocal tracks are muted. On playback, vocal tracks sound while button shows outlined M.
TagsNo tags attached.

Unknown to this user, the Mute button apparently has options available on right-click. Checking all options on right-click changed the behavior and made Mute behave normally. This issue is resolved.

Great that you found the solution yourself! There are also defaults for this in Preferences > Signal Flow.

PS. The Yellow outline means that a track is *implicitly* soloed or muted.

A common case is when soloing downstream busses eg. Track > Bus > Master.
If you solo the Bus, the track must not be muted (otherwise you'd not hear anything).
