Tim here. You might try pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ true to mute, and pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ false to unmute, or pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ to toggle If you have multiple audio-devices, you might have to change that "@DEFAULT_SINK@" to the particular device ID such as "0" which should be listed if you pactl list sinks Hope this helps, -Tim On September 19, 2021, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Hi! > > I accidentally muted the sound on a new installation of Ubuntu Mate > 21.10, and cannot get the thing talking again.
