Also affects Ubuntu 14.04 Vanilla (running standalone Xmonad Window Manager, not Unity Desktop on Acer Aspire One D260).
amixer -q sset Master toggle (or Master,0) also mutes Headphone and Speaker but does not unmute Headphone and Speaker when run again to unmute. Problem persists whether system plugged into speakers through headphone jack or not. Work-around also fixes problem for Xmonad (and also Herbstluftwm and other window managers) on vanilla Ubuntu. I have no additional languages installed (Native English speaker) , but ibus is managing keyboard (as default in 14.04). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313813 Title: amixer 'mute toggle shortcut' problem (can mute but not unmute) Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Openbox shortcut configuration file on ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu- rc.xml triggers to the following command to be executed: $ amixer -q sset Master toggle This problem is language related/dependent. This works fine on a pure english Lubuntu installation (toggle behavior). I installed Portuguese language package, on this very same machine, and now shortcut can mute, but I need to use the volume control on "tray" to unmute! I can solve the issue by running this command: $ amixer -q sset Master toggle && amixer -q sset Speaker unmute && amixer -q sset Headphone unmute A good workaround is edit ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml and set/reset this config.: <keybind key="XF86AudioMute"> <action name="Execute"> <command>amixer -q sset Master toggle</command> </action> <action name="Execute"> <command>amixer -q sset Speaker unmute</command> </action> <action name="Execute"> <command>amixer -q sset Headphone unmute</command> </action> </keybind> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: alsa-utils 1.0.27.2-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Mon Apr 28 13:19:33 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-27 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) SourcePackage: alsa-utils UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/1313813/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
