volumectl cannot unmute

[vandah]

I can mute sound with volumectl mute but then I am not able to unmute it neither with volumectl mute nor with volumectl unmute despite the indicator showing that it's unmuting. It can still be unmuted directly with pactl as shown bellow at the end.

➜  ~ pactl list sinks | grep Mute
	Mute: no
➜  ~ volumectl mute
➜  ~ pactl list sinks | grep Mute
	Mute: yes
➜  ~ volumectl mute
.43
➜  ~ pactl list sinks | grep Mute
	Mute: yes
➜  ~ volumectl unmute
.43
➜  ~ pactl list sinks | grep Mute
	Mute: yes
➜  ~ pactl set-sink-mute $(pactl list short sinks | awk '/RUNNING/{print $1}') no
➜  ~ pactl list sinks | grep Mute
	Mute: no

I am running avizo 1.0-1 from AUR.

Is this still a problem with the newest version of volumectl, which uses pulseaudio cli tools in favor of alsa?

likely no, I just tried and it looks like it works okay 👍
