Keyboard Volume Keys Killed Audio
This will probably be hopelessly vague, but my up-to-date KDE arch install had perfectly working sound--until I muted it today by using the mute key on my keyboard. I haven't been able to hear anything since...
It's a pulseaudio-alsa setup. I've checked every mixer I can find to make sure nothing is muted.
No sound from anything--browsers, VLC, speaker-test...
I'm baffled...
What can I check to see what the problem might be..?

Re: Keyboard Volume Keys Killed Audio
Can you unmute it from either alsamixer or possibly with something like pavucontrol or even pacmd?

Re: Keyboard Volume Keys Killed Audio
Both alsamixer & pavucontrol showed nothing muted. Don't know what pacmd is (yet).

Re: Keyboard Volume Keys Killed Audio
Can you post the output of:
aplay -Ll (that is an uppercase L followed by a lowercase L)
pactl --stat

Appreciate the help!

Re: Keyboard Volume Keys Killed Audio
Okay. I got it unmuted. :-D
It's been awhile since I've used alsamixer (blush)...I had forgotten that "MM" at the bottom of an alsamixer slider meant "Muted".
The remaining issue becomes: why my keyboard Mute button will mute--but not UNmute... I just tried it again several times. First press mutes, but second press displays the OSD volume slider as having been restored--but the sound is still actually muted.

Re: Keyboard Volume Keys Killed Audio
Wonder if this is related: My "NUM LOCK" key doesn't work, either. It happens to be right below the Mute Button (co-incidence, I'm sure!) Is there something in my KDE settings that needs to be tweaked, I wonder...?
