When pressing the volume buttons (defined shortcuts), nothing happens. The error message displayed is file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.volume/contents/ui/main.qml:45: ReferenceError: sinkView is not defined Kmix is not running in these cases and the shortcuts are properly defined in kglobalshortcuts (Audio Volume) Reproducible: Always
Additional info: The plasma-pa that was released with Plasma 5.4.0 works fine with the shortcuts.
Hi, I'm on Arch Linux with Plasma 5.4.0 and I have the same issue. The volume keys (Volume Up/Down/Mute) do nothing although they are defined as a global shortcut (for one of the 10+ Increase/Decrease/Mute Volume actions) in the Global Shortcuts for Audio Volume.
Same issue
Still present in 5.7.0. I was really happy to see that it finally supports per-application volume. But then I realized that it still doesn't react to any volume key presses on my keyboard or mouse which is a no-go. Missing media key support and no per-application volume controls make plasma-pa practically useless (for my use case at least). One of these features has been added now, but the other one is still missing. So until this is fixed also, I have to continue using KMix.
Since I was already on it, I tried unsetting and then resetting all the media key bindings in the system settings under Shortcuts->Global Keyboard Shortcuts->KMix (Kmix wasn't running at that time). After this procedure it's working now, so I uninstalled KMix (which also changed the component name in the settings from "Kmix" to "Audio Volume"). Then I also realized that Chrome (and therefore Google Play Music) suddenly wasn't receiving Forward/Back/Play/Pause keys anymore. Setting the shortcuts for these under the "Media Controller" KDE component to "None" also fixed that issue, though. I guess this report can be closed then.
I can confirm the issue using Plasma 5.7.0 and kmix-16.04.2. Removing kmix and unsetting and resetting the global shortcuts for "Audio Volume" as described by Janek in comment #5 worked for me as well and continued to work after reinstalling kmix (Thanks!). However, I consider this to be a workaround and don't think the issue can be closed.

Is this still an issue for anyone?
Not for me.
