[Bug 1254884] Re: Pulseaudio: incoherent muting of ALSA channels (mutes master, headphone and speaker, but unmutes only master)
The newly added workaround ("xfce4-mixer (or Xfce Audio Mixer in panel):
Choose Playback:...(PulseAudio Mixer) instead of (Alsa mixer) as sound
card in properties") fixes the symptoms for me.

Title:
Pulseaudio: incoherent muting of ALSA channels (mutes master,
headphone and speaker, but unmutes only master)
Status in PulseAudio sound server:
Unknown
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xfce4-volumed package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
with certain audio hardware (those where alsamixer shows separate
"headphone" and "speaker" channels) pressing of the mute button on
laptop keyboards causes mute of all three channels: master, headphone
and speaker. unfortunately, pressing the button again to unmute (or
deselecting mute in the xfce audio mixer panel applet) unmutes only
the master channel, leaving headphone and speaker muted. there is no
other way than opening alsamixer in a terminal (or open mixer controls
from the applet) and manually clicking the two remaining channels to
unmute.
Update: another workaround when using xfce4-mixer (or Xfce Audio Mixer
in panel): Choose Playback:...(PulseAudio Mixer) instead of (Alsa
mixer) as sound card in properties.
