Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Steps to reproduce:
1) Unmute audio and set volume to something loud. (e.g. Maximum volume)
2) Mute audio
3) Increase volume (by using a key combination)
Symptom:
Audio unmuted and volume reverts to previous volume before mute.
Expected outcome:
Audio unmuted and volume should be set to lowest value possible + 1 step for
the requested increase.
If I simply wanted to unmute the audio (thereby returning the velume to
its previous setting) then I would have pressed the unmute key
combination and not volume increase. To me (and I'm guessing a few
others), pressing volume increase suggests that one wants to increase
from its current position (0 when muted).
I understand that there may be an underlying technical difference
between 0 volume and mute. For example, if you set volume to zero and
mute or unmute, the volume doesn't change. However, as a user I feel
that mute and zero volume are the same thing in this context.
