Mute button not working as it suppose to be

I just installed Q4OS trinity 32bit on old Compaq nc4400 laptop and it is amazing. Initially I install lubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) on this laptop and its struggle playing youtube at 480p, but with Q4OS, I can even play youtube at 720p.

However, there are multiple problem with mute button.
1) Sound is mute upon boot-up and cannot be un-mute. I can see from OSD "Mute on" and "Mute off" toggle but nothing coming out from the speaker
2) Sound only out from the speaker when I plug-in headphone (sound come out from both speaker and headphone). Unplug headphone and it mute again.
3) When the headphone plug-in, I can mute but I cannot un-mute it. I have to open KMix and un-mute manually on the headphone. The physical mute button mute both master and headphone. However when I press again only the Master un-mute, the headphone still mute.

I have same issue with lubuntu initially but was solved by adding "-D pulse" on the amixer keybind command at lubuntu-rc.xml file. Is there the similar setting on the Q4OS?

Thank you

Regards
Robert

Re: Mute button not working as it suppose to be

This is the additional command that I add on lubuntu-rc.xml file. I dont know what it mean though, I just google the issue, someone suggest and it work

<keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
  <action name="Execute">
    <!-- <command>amixer -q sset Master toggle</command> -->
    <command>amixer -D pulse set Master toggle</command>
  </action>
</keybind>
