Bug Description

Binary package hint: kmix

After upgrading from Dapper to Edgy, global shortcut keys to adjust master volume via KMix no longer work. I have tried assigning different keys, and it doesn't seem to make any difference: volume is unaffected.

I have the same bug, i can't adjut the volume or unmute or mute. Kmix says that the volume is mute but I can still hear my music.

I tried with KeyTouch 2.2 too and it's not working too. My keyboard is Logitech media elite.

Definitely a problem; it's been reported on the KDE bug tracker as well: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136378

It exists in my version of Edgy, too.

Basically, it doesn't know what master channel to adjust the volume on until you manually set it. Even though it's automatically set to "Master", it doesn't use that autoset value correctly; you have to manually set it.
