I think what you have reported here is a bug in the volume applet , where increasing the volume [when muted] does not cause the volume to increase.
But unmuting returns the volume , this is a known bug , in the Karmic volume applet . Not sure of the bug number though. -- Not having a muted icon for the volume applet causes confusion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
