14 Some sound servers/mixers allow you to set master to use the PCM setting
15 (by default they are separate, afaik). I think I've seen this in the
16 XMMS settings and possibly elsewhere (either the KDE or GNOME sound
17 server settings).

19 So maybe that's the reason why you could have sound when only unmuting
20 PCM (because PCM was being used for the master setting, so unmuting one
21 effectively unmuted both). But in the default settings (where PCM and
22 Master are two different settings), you would have to unmute Master for
23 anything else to emit sound.
