Description Sonny 2022-02-25 01:07:24 UTC
SUMMARY

I have yet to discover why or for what reason, but my media keys will sometimes stop controlling my media.  The key-presses are registered, but the media does not play/pause/etc.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I have been unable to reliably reproduce this bug.  It seems random to me, I'm sure it isn't, I just don't see a pattern yet.  I only recognized this after my latest Garuda update.

OBSERVED RESULT

I press a media control key and my media does not respond.  I'm sure the keys are being registered as I can set the shortcuts, just not actually have them do anything.

EXPECTED RESULT

I expect to press a media control key such as play/pause and play or pause my media.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Garuda Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0
Qt version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm using a Corsair K95 Platinum edition if that matters in any way.
