Launching Alsamixer from the terminal allows me to control volume using the keyboard up/down. Using the multimedia keys still causes the above problem, and you can see this reflected in the graphics of alsamixer. Furthermore, using the mouse to slide the volume level up and down in gnome-volume-control eventually causes the left/right channels to "unlock". Weird.<BR>

xev hasn't been reporting any alternate key presses, and the multimedia keys work fine in windows and I never had this issue with Ubuntu.<BR><BR><BR><br /><hr />See how Windows connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093175mrt/direct/01/' target='_new'>See Now</a></body>
