Public bug reported:
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.
