</div>There are some internal cards where muting the headphones, also mutes<br>
master and the internal speakers... in fact it seems to me muting any one<br>
of the three mutes all three (Intel HDA). Unfortunately, unmuting only<br>
unmutes the one channel... which generally means the master is left muted<br>
when unmuting the the speakers. This is just testing with alsamixer in a<br>
terminal. The xfcealsamixer does not show mutes, but rather mutes any<br>
channel when the slider is moved to the lowest level... so if the user<br>
sets the speaker level to 0 and then raises it there is no sound till they<br>
go and adjust the master as well. I would call that broken.<br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br>I tried to explain that if you do not run PulseAudio, alsamixer and xfce4-mixer plugin work as expected. I have tested it by Intel HDA. As for the xfce mixer, there is more about the issue here: <a href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8291">https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8291</a><br>
