Description Jan Pazdziora 2015-08-30 11:38:53 UTC

Description of problem:

On ThinkPad T440s, the "volume down" key stopped working after recent upgrades.

I use XFCE and have the mute, volume down, and volume up mapped in Settings > Keyboard > Application shortcuts to commands

   amixer set Master toggle -q
   amixer set Master 10%- -q
   amixer set Master 10%+ -q

When mapping them, the shortcuts (symbol) assigned are

   XF86AudioMute
   XF86AudioLowerVolume
   XF86AudioRaiseVolume

When I then try to change the volume, Mute and Up work (both the icon in the panel and the Master slider of "Audio Mixer - Playback: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer)" change mute icon / changes up.

However, lowering the volume down does not work, it does nothing.

When running evtest /dev/input/event3 (which is the keyboard device), I see the code there just fine:

I understand kernel might not be at fault but I have no idea where to start with the investigation and besides, kernel is the one getting biggest updates (even if not the only one).

Comment 2 Justin M. Forbes 2015-10-20 19:37:41 UTC

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 22 kernel bugs.

Fedora 22 has now been rebased to 4.2.3-200.fc22.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 23, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 23.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

I still see the issue, in non-deterministic fashion.

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2015-11-07 10:38:17 UTC

Problem is also present on Fedora 23: kernel-4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 17:43:41 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
