As mentioned in the title, amixer appears to mute all audio channels but doesn't unmute them when run again. As a result, the media key I'd like to serve as mute/unmute only works to mute, and I need to go into alsamixer manually to unmute them.
If I understood correctly, amixer sset Master toggle would only affect the master channel, when that obviously isn't what is happening. Is anyone experiencing this issue, does anyone know how I could change this behavior?
Any and all help is appreciated, as always.
[Edit]: I've switched to aur/ponymix as it appears to function properly.[/Edit]
All the best,

I experience exactly the same issue as you. Until now I didn't find any solution to this... :-(

I've been led to believe it is an upstream bug with alsa, and that amixer itself is largely broken in this respect. For that reason, I would strongly suggest (as was suggested to me) to switch to aur/ponymix, as listed in the OP.

I finally get it working by following the solution suggested in this post.

Instead of using the amixer command, i toggle the master volume by:
pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle
Hope this works.
