Comment 34 for bug 1302885

None of this works for me! Been broken for a long time. Perhaps it's because I don't use Unity, and I use compiz and gnome classic. My

$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys volume-up
'XF86AudioRaiseVolume'

but the volume up doesn't work. Nor volume down, pause, next, prev or play/pause. It's really annoying as those keys were handy.

Running xev and depressing volume up says the right thing "XF86AudioRaiseVolume" but it's as if the driver doesn't care that that key was pressed.

This keeps up I'll have to just go to some other distro.
