Teo, with all the links that the penalv-bot had been spewing about he forget the one that might actually be helpful. Please have a look through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and see if you can gather some information that would be helpful in nailing this issue down. It would certainly be appreciated if you updated your BIOS but since this is a regression I'm happy to continue triage with you absent that update. Take the above wiki page with an eye to giving you helpful information (such as the reference to the xev command) but not being gospel.
>From what I understand you only experience this issue temporarily and haven't found a way to systematically reproduce it. That's been my experience as well. I see you experienced this on trusty which is my main operating system as well, but I've only experienced the problem once while booted into my vivid testing environment. Obviously, I don't use that so often. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

The volume control on the top right corner of the screen does work if used with the mouse. I have both an external usb keyboard with dedicated volume + and - keys, and the builtin laptop keyboard where the volume +/-keys are the combination of the Fn key plus the up/down arrows. All these used to work up to a few minutes ago. Now none of them works. I think they stopped working with the last reboot.
