Description Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2008-04-29 12:43:17 UTC 
When I use xev I see that the keyboard does send XF86AudioLowerVolume and alike, yet this does not affect the volume since kmix does not seem to have any default global shortcuts.

I guess the problem is within kmix there are so many assignments for volume up or down. what does kmix look like in kubuntu? my experience with Hardy running gnome was automatic assignment of XF86 keys. Furthermore, the XF86 keys worked, even if a program was minimized, versus in OS11 KDE 4.1 when global shortcuts with amarok only work if playlist window is open. I hope this helps.

Recently switched to KDE 3.5.9 and all of my problems, including this one are gone. Therefore, I really feel like maybe the errors are on the KDE side, though there could have been a recent update for the XF86 assignments. Either way, I am happy.
Comment 4 Ben Neely 2008-09-03 12:45:31 UTC 
Went and checked in the KDE 4.1 environment, still running OpenSUSE 11 and the XF86 keys are not assigned like in 3.5.9. Also, another random reason I switched back to 3.5.9 is that my samba protocols never have issues, while in 4.1 I had problems. Still keeping OpenSUSE 11 around, almost went to Kubuntu, but not near as nice.

ealin reported this as a frequent complaint he gets compared to other distros when installing openSUSE at his office.

Shortcuts added.
Comment 10 Xavier Callejas 2008-11-04 18:56:53 UTC 
It would be great if a graphical or visual progress bar or something like that appear when mute, or volume up or down.

I think is useful to see how much you are modifying your volume.

rgs.

In KDE 3.5 there is a graphical progress bar, now nothing as cool as was in ubuntu, especially with desktop effects.

I saw this was marked as solved, or has it just been marked as a duplicate?
Comment 12 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2008-11-05 10:54:13 UTC 
This bug is about assigning the shortcuts by default, which is apparently fixed.

Having an On Screen Display is not a bug but a feature request and since it is nothing openSUSE specific has to be reported upstream, i.e. at bugs.kde.org.
