Bug Description
On my HP EliteBook 6930p, there are some soft buttons, the most important being Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down.
Sometimes, these soft buttons don't work. Interesting: in those cases, normal keyboard shortcuts (for example: Ctrl + Alt + T for opening a terminal) also don't work. I have to reboot my system, and then, they usually work again.
In those cases, the buttons themselves do work: the mute button indicator on the keyboard will switch from blue to red and the volume buttons will do a 'bouncing' animation to confirm that you've pressed those buttons. Additionally, I do believe that in those cases the buttons are interpreted somehow by the system, because for instance, when running
xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
(source: https:/
I get the following output when pressing those buttons:
36 Return
122 XF86AudioLowerV
123 XF86AudioRaiseV
So there must be something else going on. I just don't know what to do from here. Any help here is appreciated.
