[gentoo-user] Plasma6 audio volume keys no longer working

[Alexander Puchmayr]

Hi there,

After recent update world, my laptop upgraded from kde5/plasma5/x11 to kde6/
plasma6/wayland. Now I have a very strange behavior of the volume+/- and mute 
button. When being logged in, those keys have no effect (ignored), but mic-mute 
button works as it should.

The behavior gets more weird, because all of the keys work perfectly when the 
session is locked (e.g. after wakeup from suspend, when I have to enter the 
password go unlock). 

This means, that the keys themselves, and the proper handling in drivers and 
evdev and forwarding to some application works, but something in plasma6 goes 
wrong. I checked bindings of the keys, when trying to rebind Volume+ or 
Volume- to their respective keys, it says that that they are already bound to 
that key. 

Any ideas?
