Hello,
I have a Lenovo laptop and my media keys (for play/pause, FF and RW) are not working at all. There have been instances when they worked, but most of the time they don't, for no apparent reason.
Thank you.
Hello. Could we get the output of the garuda-inxi command? (laptop model should show up there)
If they are activated by a Fn key, maybe that needs to be cleaned out or fixed?

Just to eliminate all possibilities, are your Media keys activated in the BIOS? Mine had an option to turn them off.

They are seperate keys, just dedicated to those functions. And when I try to reassign them as shortcuts for those media functions they get detected.

I my BIOS I have the option to let the Function keys be first themselves, or first the media and stuff controls. They are currently configures there to be the other functions. The thing is that the volume keys (they are on the F1, F2 and F3 work normally. The thing is that the Play/Pause, FF and RW keys are separate dedicated keys, just above the numpad.
