I need this bug to be fixed. The issue is I am routing Pulseaudio through JACK plugin, and "amixer -D pulse" only mutes apps playing through PulseAudio but not JACK Audio, and is consequently not a working solution for me.

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I am using keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease/mute volume by executing: amixer -q sset Master 5+ amixer -q sset Master 5- amixer -q sset Master toggle From when I have updated to Ubuntu 11.10, 'amixer sset Master toggle' does mute the volume, but when i execute it again it does not unmute it. In command line, it looks fine: :~$ amixer sset Master toggle Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Mono: Playback 16 [52%] [-22.50dB] [off] :~$ amixer sset Master toggle Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Mono: Playback 16 [52%] [-22.50dB] [on] but it remains muted. I use pavucontrol to unmute sound from the GUI.
