Re: [trinity-users] HP laptop volume keys don't work

Hi Dan, Is this something that used to work up until recently and has just stopped? I just found myself in an identical situation. Until a few days ago I had volume up/down buttons on my Thinkpad working correctly, changing the volume between 0% and 100% and triggering an OSD with each change. The only non-working thing was the mute button which would mute the sound but pressing it again wouldn't unmute all the channels. I had to manually unmute channels in KMix to get the sound back. Same problem has been described in this thread by another TDE user. Starting a few days ago volume up/down buttons no longer work. They will change sound volume by 5% up/down but no more than that. They also don't trigger an OSD. Also, mute button now works normally - it mutes and unmutes sound without any need to manually unmute the channels. Since it looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue I am suspecting a recent set of Trinity updates. I have insstalled a larger set of updates on the 12th May. Dan, does this correlate with any updates that you may have installed? Some more background info. I have Pulseaudio on my system. My laptop is a ThinkPad P50 running latest Debian. I have KMilo plugin installed. According to acpi_listen volume up/down events are generated correctly for the buttons, but they don't generate any events in xev. Keys are however recognized in TDE applications like KMix or Amarok - I can assign them as global shortcuts. They just don't work afterwards. Also, I tried using tpb in hope to get some sort of OSD but it doesn't work. One thing I am tempted to try is uninstalling pulseaudio to see whether it makes any difference. Another solution would be capturing key events via acpi and handling them through DCOP. This requires hacking a script, which I don't have the time to do in the next three weeks.
