An workaround might be using xev (in terminal), pressing the button you
want to use and noting its name,
KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x6000001,
root 0x9b, subw 0x0, time 37940588, (800,388), root:(859,440),
state 0x10, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume),
same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Its "XF86AudioRaiseVolume" in the output above. Then run dconf-editor
and try to put this in appropriate place (they are described here
http://askubuntu.com/questions/26056/where-are-gnome-keyboard-shortcuts-
stored ).

Title:
Media keyboard shortcuts not working
Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I can map the Volume Control keys in Keyboard Shortcuts e.g. Volume
up/down to Volume up/down, but when I press the Volume keys on the
keyboard nothing happens.
I have noticed the same problem with other keys on my Logitech Internet 350
keyboard with Tools, Mail, and HomePage.
They can all be mapped with Keyboard Shortcuts, but nothing happens
afterwards when the keyboard key is pressed.
All these keyboard settings worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu.
