[Bug 1258782] [NEW] sound is not reenabled when unmuting (multimedia key mute)

 

Public bug reported:

Since using Ubuntu 13.10 and XFCE (as Gnome is completely unusable by
now, but I guess that's rather a feature than a bug), pressing the
"mute" multimedia key does not reenable sound after muting.

After logging into a freshly booted system, pressing the "mute" multimedia key results in:
 - The sound-indicator applet shows the "muted" symbol.
 - Sound is muted.
 - alsamixer shows that Master, Headphone and PCM switched from open (OO) to muted (MM).

Pressing the "mute" key again results in:
 - The sound-indicator applet again shows its normal state (in my case a mouseover gives "Master: 65%").
 - Still hearing no sound.
 - alsamixer shows that Master has been unmuted, but Headphone and PCM are still muted.

Expected behavior: I should be hearing sound again, Headphone and PCM
should also be unmuted.

Workaround: Use alsamixer to manually unmute (navigate to Headphone and
PCM, press 'M' key) channels.
