Sound issue with Mute / Unmute toggle does not seem to work.

Right click on the speaker/sound icon on the tint2 to mute. It works as expected.
But, then unmute does not work.

Workaround
Right click on the sound icon on the tint2 check show mixer.
Volume control window appears. Navigate to Output Devices tab.
Toggle speaker/sound icon to unmute.

Re: Sound issue with Mute / Unmute toggle does not seem to work.

A well known bug.

I'll wait for HoaS or one of the other other team members to chime in as to the best way to start troubleshooting, or workarounds to try.

-edit- But the easiest fix (IMO) is to purge pulseaudio* and pavucontrol and install alsa-base and alsa-utils, and reboot.

Re: Sound issue with Mute / Unmute toggle does not seem to work.

Well, my original suggestion was https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=537

However, we are now looking at this method instead:

*) Comment out the <keybind key="XF86AudioMute"> ...</keybind>section from rc.xml, and any other references to the XF86* keys.
*) Purge xfce4-volumed
*) Install volumeicon-alsa from Debian stable.
*) In openbox/autostart replace volti with volumeicon
*) Logout/in and make sure volumeicon's hotkeys are set to the XF86* keys.

You may also need to modify /etc/asound.conf to add this:

pcm.pulse {
   type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
   type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
   type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
   type pulse
}

Re: Sound issue with Mute / Unmute toggle does not seem to work.

You may probably will also need to modify /etc/asound.conf to add this: (code)

But basically, please try what Head_on_a_Stick suggested before going to the extreme (IMO) lengths of ditching pulseaudio.
