[Acer] volume hotkeys trigger visualization, don't change mixer in 9.04

[Pedro Azevedo]

Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

I have an Acer laptop, with an ATI IXP 9000 motherboard with on-board sound.
When I try pressing the keys on my laptop to increase and decrease the sound volume(Fn + UpArrow/DownArrow), I get an image on the top left corner that increases and decreases respectively but the sound volume isn't actually affected in any discernible way.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.

Since you are seeing the visualization, the hotkeys themselves are working normally but the desktop evidently does not have them mapped to the correct mixer. If you look in System->Preferences->Sound, which device do you see selected under 'Default Mixer Tracks', and which tracks if any are selected? If you select a different device, does this fix the problem?
