I’m on 20.04 and downloaded Slack using snap. I downloaded Spotify via snap as well as my speakers work. Not sure why Slack isn’t working. I tried every single sound source.

ANSWER
Is it possible there is another volume control setting for Slack application that was missed out? It is sometimes hidden deep in the Sound Settings under Applications.
I had a similar experience with Zoom for Linux. I could not hear a sound at all. The main system volume was all the way up. The app was connected to the device’s audio correctly. I reconnected a couple of times. Only to find out later on that there was yet another set of input/output controls for Zoom that was not so obvious. I only had to turn it up to hear sound during a call. By default it always seems to be at 0 when I join a call, which is weird.
