I am using: UBUNTU 10.04 LTS GNOME 2.30.2 6/25/2010 This works: amixer set Master mute This does NOT work: amixer set Master unmute
When I execute >>> amixer set Master mute the GUI (Sound Preferences) shows OUTPUT VOLUME MUTE and there is no sound whether or not sound output was previously muted HOWEVER, when I execute >>> amixer set master unmute at a time when sound output is muted "amixer" seems to think it has toggled "mute" but the GUI (Sound Preferences) OUTPUT VOLUME STAYS MUTED BTW, I want a means to set sound output to MUTE upon LOGIN. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496354 Title: amixer doesn't seem to unmute audio Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio When i run amixer -Dhw:0 set 'Master' unmute The volume appears to be unmuted in alsamixer, but the sound is not actually unmuted, and all the GUI tools show the sound is muted. I've attached a log, of the following... pressing the mute button on my keyboard, so the sound is muted. using the unmute command so the sound should be unmuted. playing a sound in pidgin, getting no sound, because the sound is still muted. hitting the mute button on my keyboard again, which actually unmutes the sound. playing a sound in pidgin, and getting sound I've also attached a screenshot, showing the GUI saying the sound is muted, while alsamixer is saying that it isn't. Note that while unmute doesn't work, setting the volume does. amixer -Dhw:0 set 'Master' 100% Works as expected, for example. I'm also affected by #352732, maybe related.
