• [gentoo-user] Plasma6 audio volume keys no longer working

    From Alexander Puchmayr@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 23 10:10:01 2024
    Hi there,

    After recent update world, my laptop upgraded from kde5/plasma5/x11 to kde6/ plasma6/wayland. Now I have a very strange behavior of the volume+/- and mute button. When being logged in, those keys have no effect (ignored), but mic-mute button works as it should.

    The behavior gets more weird, because all of the keys work perfectly when the session is locked (e.g. after wakeup from suspend, when I have to enter the password go unlock).

    This means, that the keys themselves, and the proper handling in drivers and evdev and forwarding to some application works, but something in plasma6 goes wrong. I checked bindings of the keys, when trying to rebind Volume+ or
    Volume- to their respective keys, it says that that they are already bound to that key.

    Any ideas?
