Muting and unmuting sound with mutebutton I'm running the testing branch of debian with codename `Jessie` and xfce as desktop environment on a Lenovo ThinkPad T410. When I press the mute-button, it mutes pulse-audio and alsa, but when I press the mute-button again it unmutes pulse-audio but not alsa. I can happily mute and unmute in the terminal by amixer set Master toggle Now I'd like to set this command to be executed when pressing the mute button. xfce has a setting for that, it works for other buttons, but not the mute button. In `.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml` I have the line <property name="XF86AudioMute" type="string" value="amixer set Master toggle"/> but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can either turn off the mute button or overwrite what happens when I press it?

Uncommenting


load-module module-alsa-sink
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0


in `/etc/pulse/default.pa` did the trick.

Edit: However, after uncommenting the lines mentioned above, I ran into all sorts of problems, for example vlc started crashing. I now removed the complete folder `/etc/pulse/` and now everything seems to work fine, including sound and mute button.
