Public bug reported:

Openbox shortcut configuration file on ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
triggers to the following command to be executed:

$ amixer -q sset Master toggle

This problem is language related/dependent. This works fine on a pure
english Lubuntu installation (toggle behavior). I installed Portuguese
language package, on this very same machine, and now shortcut can mute,
but I need to use the volume control on "tray" to unmute!

I can solve the issue by running this command:

$ amixer -q sset Master toggle && amixer -q sset Speaker unmute &&
amixer -q sset Headphone unmute

A good workaround is edit  ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml and
set/reset this config.:

    <keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>amixer -q sset Master toggle</command>
      </action>
     <action name="Execute">
        <command>amixer -q sset Speaker unmute</command>
     </action>
    <action name="Execute">
        <command>amixer  -q sset Headphone unmute</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
