[Bug 878986] Re: amixer -q sset Master toggle does mute, but does not unmute!

 

As for comment #39 PS 2, it does not help, even if you un-mute all
channels separately by amixer using the default (not pulse) device;
sound stays muted until you unmute using pulseaudio mixer.

Title:
  amixer -q sset Master toggle does mute, but does not unmute!

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am using keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease/mute volume by executing:
  amixer -q sset Master 5+
  amixer -q sset Master 5-
  amixer -q sset Master toggle

  From when I have updated to Ubuntu 11.10, 'amixer sset Master toggle'
  does mute the volume, but when i execute it again it does not unmute
  it. In command line, it looks fine:

  :~$ amixer sset Master toggle
  Simple mixer control 'Master',0
    Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum
    Playback channels: Mono
    Limits: Playback 0 - 31
    Mono: Playback 16 [52%] [-22.50dB] [off]

  :~$ amixer sset Master toggle
  Simple mixer control 'Master',0
    Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum
    Playback channels: Mono
    Limits: Playback 0 - 31
    Mono: Playback 16 [52%] [-22.50dB] [on]

  but it remains muted. I use pavucontrol to unmute sound from the GUI.
