9 Dan, searching bugzilla for XF86Audio showed this:
10 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147143 -- exactly your
11 XF86AudioRaiseVolume not working.
12
13 Strangely, the upgrade from kde-3.5.4 to 3.5.5 made all three sound
14 buttons stop working for me. KControl would indeed not accept any
15 of the sound buttons when trying to define a shortcut, it would
16 accept XF86Mail or XF86Search, for example, but not a XF86Audio*.
17
18 The way to get out of this is to go to KMix > Settings > Configure
19 Global Shortcuts, and click Defaults -- this should set them all to
20 None, otherwise manually select None for all three. And click OK.
21 Then configure the Global Shortcuts again: now that they are unset,
22 the dialog will accept the keys.
23
24 Somehow the audio keys get caught before arriving at the
25 key-definition dialog. This is easily heard when trying to
26 redefine Mute when it's already defined: instead of seeing
27 XF86AudioMute as the key to be used, it mutes the sound.
