Hi thanks for this detailed answer
For the time being (till R14.1.0 is out - possibly end
of 2020) you have the following choices:
1) you can mute/unmute from the KMix slider LED, this
should work fine with PA already
This works but it is inconvenient since you have to fiddle with controls
2) you can open KMix mixer windod -> Settings ->
Configure global shortcuts and remap the "toggle mute" keyboard
shortcut to some other key combination. Do not use "XF86AudioMute" key, since
this is normally used by KMilo and
therefore may not work
Thanks for this but: it does *not work*.
I just bound it to Win+F1 for testing:
this «Toogle mute» only switches the
master but not the speaker, so it does the same as does Fn-F1
3) you can create a script that calls "dcop kmix
Mixer-1 toggleMasterMute", this will mute/unmute the PA master
channel. You can add an input action tied to a keyboard shortcut to call this easy.
The script works, nicely
4) if you are on debian-like distro, you could switch
to Slavek's PTB packages and get the latest R14.1.0-dev packages
at regular intervals. This will bring you the complete fix in a few days
does that
mean Ubuntu included?
Would you mind telling me the ppa?
Thanks again
Uwe
PS I signed this message, since you did the same, some people do
complain, though
