More on the mute/unmute - issue as seen from a eee 1000 - user.

Mute works (even though the keys are on Fn+F10-F12 instead of F7-F9).
Mute works by muting "Main" and "Front", ie master and the built-in
speakers.

Both the "ASUS" OSD and the gnome OSD recognizes this.

Unmute does NOT work correctly. Unmute only unmutes "main", and leaves
"Front" still muted, thus resulting in output from the headphones, but
not from the built-in speakers (Perhaps some strange issues in the acpi-
scripts...)

Here's the strange part, as stated in post from steveme above:

Muting, and then changing volume level makes gnome UNMUTE the source and then changing the level. This reflects in the OSD.
The ASUS OSD on the other hand seems to expect that a change in volume does not warrant an unmute, and thus will still recognize the system as "muted". Here the two have become de-synched, and further mutung/unmuting via Fn+F10(7) would show one OSD as muted, and one as unmuted... The gnome one would be correct.

Bug description:
I cannot change the volume for the sound on the eee using Ubuntu. Neither the keys nor the mixer in Ubuntu do the trick. This is quite bad because of the startup sound that is played at quite a hihgh volume.
