Bug Description

I do not know if this is a feature in earlier versions of Kubuntu or not, but I do know that when I used Ubuntu I was able to hit fn+11 to go back a song in applications pithos banshee .etc and even when no applications was running if i hit the hotkey (in mint this time) it would display a not allowed sign. In Kubuntu these keys are not recognized at all. I have tried the wiki page on https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys and followed every instruction I can think of. I believe this is a bug because this feature is available in other versions of Ubuntu.

What I tried
Xmodmap
KDE Gui shortcut editor

What happened the
keys did not work

What i expected to happen
fn+f9=pause
fn+f10=stop
fn+11=previous song
fn+f12=next song

Notes
Certain keys do work. For example fn+left turns the brightness down and fn+12 does the opposite. Fn+down turns the volume down and fn+up turns the volume up
