Bug Description

Go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Sound and Media.

The default for "Volume up" is "Audio raise volume". (On my laptop it's Fn+F8.) The shortcut key works as expected.

Click to change the accelerator, and specify the old value again. You'll see "Audio raise volume" appearing again. But it stops working!

In dconf-editor, go to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys. Notice that the value of "volume-up" changed from the default XF86AudioRaiseVolume to AudioRaiseVolume. Resetting to the default fixes the hotkey.

The same problem holds for volume down and mute too.
