Keyboard volume keys only change level once

fireplex · 2017-11-14 00:07

Hello,

I'm a new user to Q4OS, great so far.

Installed scorpion and using Pulseaudio.

I have a logitech K270 wireless keyboard which has play/pause, mute, volume up/down buttons.

The buttons works fine except volume up and down only change the volume by a single small level higher or lower, if I repeatedly press or even hold down the keys the volume does not change any further.

Any ideas ?

Thanks!

It might be due to keyboard (repeat) setting, you can check this in the settings Start -> Settings -> Control Centre -> Peripherals -> Keyboard repeat would need to be enabled and you can set the delay rate to your preference.

Repeat was enabled, tried changing values and also disabling and re-enabling but no change unfortunately.

I have a Logitech wireless keyboard as well and have never been able to get the volume up/down to work properly. My Microsoft wireless keyboard has the same issue.

OK, at least I'm not the only one.

Just weird it will change the volume once, either up or down, which shows it receives the commands, but then no further...

You could check the associated "hot-keys" and re-assign them (if not configured correctly), have a look at Start -> Settings -> Control Centre -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shotcuts although I cannot see anything for volume so might not help much... One thing you could try is to create your own hotkey to see if that will work, or maybe configure an "input action" to raise/lower the volume, although I have only very limited knowledge of doing this so might be worth waiting to see if anyone else can help.

Already tried some of that Dai to no effect.

It should be possible to create a new "hotkey(s)" that will adjust the volume up/down/mute/unmute and assign them the keys you want to use, I created a script for someone to use as they had difficulty with sound muting/unmuting and it simply contains the command line code to do these functions and sets it by clicking the icon on the desktop that I created for them, this would also be possible to create similar to adjust sound up/down etc... the script could then be assigned to a "hotkey" and would be invoked in the usual manner. When adding a new "hotkey" with an existing key combination you are usually offered a choice to cancel the old one or keep it and disregard the new "hotkey".

But this would not really be a solution for the existing problem, it is just a workaround that should give the desired functionality.

It depends on what Im doing as some things online like Youtube I use their volume control but for my HTPC I dont use Q4OS as it has too many issues with the multimedia keys.

Just tested on my T430 now that I've got it installed, and I'm able to go from 0% to 100% and mute/unmute with the multimedia keys on this laptop.

Ive never had issues with laptop keyboards, its always with wireless keyboards.

KMix settings have no affect either with my wireless keyboards unfortunately,
