Gusty Beta update stopped laptop Fn Volume Control

Forgot to say - Other Fn keys such as the brightness control still works.

And when the Fn volume controls are pressed the volume up down graphic comes up on the screen as normal.

Can confirm the same issue regarding hotkeys, all apart from sound are OK. I have seen a few reports of this in IRC #ubuntu+1 and the consistent factor would seem to be intel_hda as the sound card/driver and KDE as the desktop. On screen display jumps from 0% to 11% and back but no volume is changed.

I have tried rebinding the XF86Audio* keys in kmix -> global shortcuts but the problem remains, during the rebinding attempts I see the following in dmesg:

[ 162.360000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 162.360000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known.
[ 162.360000] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0).

[ 162.500000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it know

other keycodes for the other keys.

I get the same error like bascule, display on kde jumping from 0% to 11%. No errors about keycodes in dmesg though, like bascule.
My card uses the module snd-hda-intel.

I am using gnome rather than kde, so not exactly the same. Also the onscreen graphic gives me all the graduations from 0% to 100%.

That's ok, but the effect is the same- no change in the volume levels. However, for me, the mute key is working as expected. Same for you ?

No, the mute (Fn F10) doesn't have any effect either for me :-(

Volume Function keys work fine for me. I use gnome, so I suppose this issue is somehow kde-related..

Hi everyone,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Care to test the most recent Hardy Heron 8.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

Hi Leann,

I am sorry, I should have commented long back. I am using Kubuntu 8.04 from 2 months now, and now experienced this bug. Laptop keys for volume control are working perfectly fine.

Thanks

Err.. I meant "not experienced this bug". Kubuntu 8.04 is working perfectly all right for me.

(That raises the question - shouldn't Launchpad have a facility to edit comments?)

Hi Rohan,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to mark this "Fix Released".

And yes, wouldn't it be great if Launchpad had the capability to edit comments. I know it's on a long list of wishlist items they've been asked to implement.
