[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#735080: xfce4-mixer: External amplifier checkbox missing after recent updates; cannot "uncheck," so no audio

[ithink314 at gmail.com (ithink314)]

Package: xfce4-mixer
Version: 4.10.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation? Updates in December (?). Previously, after
reboots, the "external amplifier" checkbox would have to be "unchecked" for
sound to work. Now the checkbox is not found in audio mixer interface, and
laptop speakers do not work.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)? Looked for other ways.
   * What was the outcome of this action? Not yet found.
   * What outcome did you expect instead? Automatically correct settings, or
restore checkbox option(?)

This is on an older ASUS Z62FM laptop with Intel sound.
