Bug Description
Hardware: iMac G3 600MHz SE
OS Version: Lubuntu 12.10
Alsamixer version 1.0.25
The Alsamixer program as run in the terminal has two key volume controls with relation to getting sound working. Master and Speaker. With a default install of Lubuntu, both Master and Speaker are marked as "OO" or "00" meaning on, I suppose.
The problem is when using the Mute checkbox in the Lubuntu desktop, it mutes both the Master and Speaker. When un-checking the mute box, no sound returns. If you quit alsamixer in the terminal and start it again, you will see that the Master is unmuted and back to "OO" however the speaker is still muted as marked by "MM"
So either make the Lubuntu Mute button trigger only the Master, or make it remember to enable the Speaker as well as the Master when un-muting.
The temporary fix for people who used the GUI Mute button is to unmute, and then go into the terminal, type "alsamixer" and then use the M key to directly unmute the item called Speaker.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

I've marked this as invalid because PPC is no longer supported by Lubuntu
