Hi,
I'm using pulseaudio and I really want to configure it finally (I used to have only ALSA installed but more and more applications require Pulseaudio so I decided to give it a try).
OK, down to business. I can't figure out how to configure my binding for mute/unmute key. I simply couldn't unmute sounds on my laptop and I thought, that
assigning command like amixer -D pulse set Master Playback Switch toggle for XF86AudioMute in XFCE keyboard settings will do the trick. Unfortunately this command mutes and unmutes sound only when ran from console.
Just to ensure that XFCE Keyboard settings really reflect keyboard bindings I removed the one for XF86AudioMute. Despite removing this binding, mute/unmute still seems to be called from somewhere when dedicated button is pressed (of course after muting you can't unmute - in pavucontrol sound is still muted and you have to unmute it manually).
So the question is - where is the XF86AudioMute binding defined??? It seems like some extra command bound to XF86AudioMute key overrides my custom command anyway...

I have seen Function keys do something like this before (backlight and wifi radio in particular). I suspect they might be interacting with the bios.

I've got same problem.
Lenovo n500, Xfce4.
When I execute "amixer set Master toggle" it mutes/unmutes correctly. When I assign this command to some key it also works. But when I assign it to XF86AudioMute nothing changes. It mutes but cannot unmute.. Any idea how to change this Function key binding?

No more a problem. Looks like reinstalling pavucontrol, pulsaudio and installing xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin worked.
