Re: Mute shortcut problem...

 

Actually, I found that the best command is:

$ amixer -c 1 -q sset Master toggle && amixer -c 1 -q sset Speaker unmute
&& amixer -c 1 -q sset Headphone unmute

I guess it will need a shell script, because I'm having problems to get all
these commands to work on lubuntu-rc.xml file. && I supose are not allowed!
