wow! that was it? How did I miss that? And why doesnt the mute or unmute option in the on the volume control app in LXpanel modify that?
Thanks Mojo! I was completely lost on that one.

With alsamixer open move the LxPanel volume slider and check mute.
Observe the effect it has on alsamixer.
LXPanel audioplugin volume/mute only controls MASTER not PCM
PCM has as much an effect on the volume/mute as MASTER does.
Associate the effect controls/configurations have before something mysteriously stops working or starts happening that you don't want. You'll know what to check/undo to restore the system right away.
Thanks again mojo, I wish I knew what made the change to PCM
Mojo, is there a way to see what is triggering my hardware mute (led on keyboard keeps lighting up randomly, and I can hear the speakers cut out) this isnt effecting alsamixer, if I touch the button it unmutes, but it keeps muting randomly on its own, is there anyway to find when and how its happening? Again, I dont suspect its hardware since its a dual boot laptop and outside of SliTaz it doesnt behave like this.

Does anyone have physical access to the computer? Someone at home or work that would get pleasure from your pain?
no, its in my office locked up, and I can see it randomly muting right before my eyes. But a very good Question :)
