Xfce volume keys stopped working after 4.10 upgrade

Upgraded from Xfce 4.8 to 4.10.
Previously, the volume keys on my little Cyber Snipa game pad keyboard triggered volume changes and a little volume OSD display.
After the upgrade, this functionality is gone.
This volume control worked more or less "out of the box" for me after I installed Xfce 4.8, so I'm uncertain of what broke in the upgrade process. I did enable GNOME services after installing Xfce originally, and this option remains enabled.

Can you use other buttons or verify that the game pad is still detected at all? If the volume key presses are recognized and it's just that there is no longer a command bound to them, you can probably restore that with xfce-keyboard-settings or xbindkeys.

Volumeicon volume keys stop working after adjusting volume via icon

When Volumeicon is first started, the volume keys work fine, (although it doesn't show the volume bar like it does when you scroll on the icon for some reason). When I adjust the volume by scrolling the mousewheel on the icon, the volume keys stop working and volume can only be adjusted via scrollwheel. Volumeicon must be restarted to restore volume key functionality.
Why is this happening? What's going on?

Is this something that worked previously but then stopped working correctly?
What window manager / desktop environment are you using?
If you start volumeicon from the command line then use it are there any error messages?
Alternatively, does the volumeicon-gtk2 packagen in the AUR work better?

My "9-o-l-." keys stop working after startup, and spreading! ahh help?

My "9-O-L-." keys stop working after startup and my arrow keys too.
Sometimes when I start up the keys will work for a bit then one by one stop functioning and then randomly work every so often, then it seems to "spread" to the right shift key, and sometimes the "8-I-K-," keys.
Around the same time when this all began my Battery completely stopped working too, does this have anything to do with it? I've reset my PRAM and no luck.
I'm planning on replacing the keyboard, will that fix the problem? or is it something deeper?
Thanks in advance!
-Andrew

I assume you've rebooted? Can you control the computer well enough to make a new account and log into it? Doubt this will fix it but maybe. The keyboard may need replacing but it might also be that the cable has worked loose so that some of the wires have disconnected but not all. Sounds like a trip or call to Apple is in order.

17" unibody - volume keys stop working

after some time the f10/f11/f12 volume buttons stop working, (even the volume icon in the menu bar stops reacting) i have to go to sound in the system preferences pane to control the volume, or log out, after loging in they will work for a while - this can happen a few times a day
i didn't figure out what triggers them to stop working - does anybody know this problem or has a possible solution?

thank you for your reaction, it solved the problem temporarely,
but the problem returned,
it looks as if it is triggered by using a headphone, after plugging them out, the keys don't
work anymore
also with skype the sound acts strange, only the right speaker of the computer works - with
headphone both channels work - when i play itunes, both speakers work
i think i should do some testing with different programs and different headphones to isolate
the problem - suggestions are more than welcome

Satellite A105 Shift Keys stop working after BIOS update

I have a stack of laptop boards from the A105 series (Intel chipset) that I received with bad BIOS's. Two worked, and I updated the BIOS's on them to fix CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working, and pressing Shift-A causes the power light to dim. Reverting to ANY previous version BIOS, whether through the Windows program, CD, or Crisis Recovery floppy (magic key is "F", not "B", "Esc", or "U"), does not fix the keyboard problem.
To make things more confusing, I did notice that the one single BIOS that seems to actually correct the problem is version 1.50, which I haven't seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, except a couple A100's, but the BIOS file is much too small and can't be loaded.
Does anyone have any idea why these Intel-based boards are doing this? Or does anyone know where I can get a usable version 1.50 BIOS?
For the sake of this post, please consider my skill level to be high. (In other words, I would be thankful for people trying to help with "Replace the keyboard", but I have about a dozen keyboards, all of which I have tried, and all of which work on other laptops. Additionally, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm definitely open to hearing it. Also, if a Toshiba tech would like to reply, I would very much appreciate it!)

Hi, thank you for your help.
Some motherboards were not in chassis when I got them. Is there a place the PSAAxx model number would be written on the boards?
Four PSAA8U (Two A105-S4334 and Two A105-S4014) - Intel Chipset, fingerprint reader. Tried BIOS Versions 1.40, 1.70, 2.00, 5.10, 5.60, 5.90, and 6.00. Shift keys do not work on either one.
Two PSAA2U (A105-S2091 and A105-S2031) - ATi Chipset. BIOS versions 1.50, 1.80, and 2.30. Keyboard works.
Another PSAA8U (A105-S4184) - Intel Chipset, no fingerprint reader. BIOS version 6.00. Keyboard works.
I noticed that so far all of the models with fingerprint readers have the problem. All of the ATi Chipset boards are working fine, but they have significant processor limits. I am in the middle of updating the BIOS in another Intel one using a Crisis Rescue Disc, so after that finishes I will try disconnecting the fingerprint reader to see if it has an effect.
I don't think the keyboard controller is faulty, because these boards all failed on the same day. I have tried updating the BIOS using WinPhlash, Phlash16 in DOS, the install CD, and a Crisis Recovery Disk. I set the defaults in the BIOS almost every time, and I also have tried holding the power button for 60 seconds with the power cord unplugged and the battery removed (as some people have suggested.)
The shift keys don't work in DOS, Linux, Windows, or even in the BIOS. I test it in the BIOS by using Tab to cycle through the fields in time of day, then Shift-Tab to cycle backwards. This works with a USB keyboard, and it also works on the ATi chipset models and the Intel chipset models that are still working.
Thank you for your reply. (-:

Brightness control keys stop working after booting MacOSX

I bought a new iMac 27" a couple of weeks ago, and I installed Windows 7 using bootcamp.
All the control keys (brightness, volume, etc) works ok on Windows until I reboot it in MacOSX. When i start windows again, brightness controls keys stops working, leaving the screen with the maximus bright, which is killing my eyes.
Reparing boot camp drivers doesn't do the trick. Am I missing something?

Try fn + the controls. It might be that Windows defaulted to those buttons as F1, F2, etc. Using fn while pressing the buttons will 'tell' Windows that it has to listen to the Bootcamp software and lower the brightness.

Boot keys stopped working after Leopard install

I have seen others having this problem in another thread but no answers, so thought I'd give it a go.
After reading these threads finally got Leopard to install and run okay. Many thanks all. But, along the way, my boot keys stopped working. It doesn't matter what I hold down, whether 'c' or 'cmd-opt-p-r' or 'shift' or any other key combination the machine just boots straight into Leopard.
I have tried resetting the PMU (or whatever it is these days) via the internal button in desperation but still no luck.
Anyone with any ideas?

Same problem here, so I'll pull this post up. No key works.
I always have to go to the Start Drive (or whatever it's called in english) in Preferences Panes and choose the partition I wish to start directly in OSX or Windows for booting back to OSX. This is very annoying. Alt key won't show up any possible boot disk although their both internal drives.
If someone would kindly post any ideas how to change that, would be great. I've done a fresh install, with a Time Machine recovery, but this didn't seem to help.
EDIT:
I found another subjet here from november '07:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1224639
it seems the new Apple Keyboard is the origin of the Problem on iMac Core Duo. Apple techs said that a new firmeware should be coming before the end of 2007 (but it's february 2008 now ?!?). Any other ideas how to get this work ? I'll write on Aplpe feedback page for sure. Maybe the other boot keys aren't working because of this keyboard too.

Volume keys stopped working

None of my volume keys are working. The volume is showing me that its until the loudest it goes but the speaker above is is faded and undernether there is a "not working" symbol, almost like this .. . My volume was working perfectly a few hours ago. AND I restarted the computer. How do i fix this?

Try a pram reset: power down the MBP, power up holding the following keys, option, command P,R, (no commas) continue to hold these keys until you hear the start chime 2 times. Then release the keys. Reboot. Hope this helps.

Presario R3000 volume keys stopped working

I am running Arch very well on my Compaq Presario R3000, and so far I have only had one hiccup.
My volume keys were working properly at first using the Compaq Presario keyboard map in gnome, and it would act upon the proper ALSA maste volume and show the corresponding onscreen display of my actions. Today, my keys aren't working on the mixer at all, but if I am running Mplayer, they work on the volume there.
What would cause this odd behavior.....any ideas?
Thanks.

ok...update time.....my buttons spontainously started working again tonight. I am not sure what happened because I enabled the testing repo, did an Syu, and now here we are.

NVidia firewall stopped working after nForce drivers upgrade

Just for the record, my nVidia firewall stopped working after I "upgraded" from nForce 4.08 (came with the mobo cd) to 4.24 (latest drivers at the nVidia website).
...damn nVidia.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the reply. I tried -- to an extent -- what you suggested. Thinking nVidia was smart I went on to installing the 4.24 without removing previous drivers/components. Everything installed except for the network/firewall stuff. I clicked "yes, install nVidia network stuff" and a fatal error occured a few seconds into the installation. I then proceeded to uninstalling the network access manager, followed by a retry of the 4.24 installation: same problem.
However, I never uninstalled the nForce drivers themselves. I will redownload the 4.24 .exe, uninstall everything, and run the .exe. I'll then proceed to report my crappy results here, in this forum.

Brightness and volume keys not working after switch to Yosemite

Once Yosemite was installed, the brightness (F1, F2) and volume (F10, F11, F12) keys on my macbook pro stopped working. I have already checked the System Pref>Keyboard and unchecked the "standard function" box, done an SMC and PRAM reset, to no avail. My sound in and out are both set to built-in. Any suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
When iOS 6.1 comes out I would update.
