Description Dotan Cohen 2008-11-05 19:16:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hardware: Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400

In KDE 3.5.10, the hardware audio buttons (Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down, Play/Pause, RW, FF, Stop) all work fine. In a KDE 4.1, only the Mute button works.

I thought that this was a distro issue (Kubuntu), but on the Kubuntu bugtracker the devs decided that I must file upstream. Here is the Kubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/281981
Comment 1 Dotan Cohen 2008-11-05 19:19:17 UTC 
On the Kubuntu bugtracker it was requested that I run xev and then press the hardware audio buttons as that may help determine the root of the problem. Here is that output:

Hi,
for me the same, but not even mute does work. They used to work under KDE 3.5.xx but under KDE 4.1.2 they don't. Here is the output of my xev:

Comment 3 Jonathan Thomas 2008-11-05 23:54:43 UTC 
Mario meant to tell you to open a bug against the KDE packages in the Ubuntu tracker, not here.

This is a Kubuntu-specific bug (a patch of ours) that we are working on fixing. You can track it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267245

Please close this bug as invalid. Thanks.
