I think it is not associated to Banshee. I experience the same bug on Oneiric, but I uninstalled Banshee and use instead Clementine. As I press a multimedia key (not volume), there shows a prohibition sign (see attachment).

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On my laptop, as on most new computers, there are keyboard keys for "volume up" "volume down" and "mute". (Some even have play, pause, etc.) Those keys are ineffective on banshee. What should be a simple one-button operation becomes a round of fiddling with the mouse. I assume that the "volume up" and "volume down" buttons on my Logitech USB headphones use the same interface -- since they don't work either. C'mon -- if Windows Media Player can do it, so can you.
