I've detected that if I assign the sound buttons different keys, that this works. So although I can assign play to the "Audio play" key, this is not recognised. But if I assign it to Super+F5 for example, then it works.
Same for sound up/down. Different keys work, just not the audio keys, although it appears they are recognised. BTW, I'm using a laptop + an external keyboard (Razer Blackwidow). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304661 Title: Volume lower/raise using keyboard doesn't work Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Keys are recognised (tested with xev). Mute button works. In emacs when I press the volume keys I get something like XF86AudioRaiseVolume is undefined. So somehow these keys do not reach pulseaudio.
