            Bug ID: 418246
           Summary: Multimedia keys of keyboard not working in 5.17 and
                    5.18
           Product: kdemultimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In the last two versions of KDE the multimedia keys of my keyboard stopped
working. 4-5 days ago I installed KDE to test something and until testing it I
wanted to listen to some music. But from all the multimedia keys only "Stop"
and "Mute sound" worked. I tried manually setting them in the settings menu of
KDE but nothing changed.
The last version I know for sure they worked was KDE Plasma 5.16.
Another user I asked confirmed that on his end only 3 keys (out of 7) work -
volume up, volume down and play.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install latest KDE.
2. Install Audacious.
3. Run it and try to manage it using the multimedia keys of the keyboard.

OBSERVED RESULT
When using "play/pause", "previous", "next", "volume up" and "volume down",
nothing happens - as if they weren't pressed.

EXPECTED RESULT
When using "play/pause", "previous", "next", "volume up" and "volume down",
they should execute their corresponding functions.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch 5.4.22-LTS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18
KDE Frameworks Version: IDK
Qt Version: IDK

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My keyboard is A4Tech G800V X7. I'm mentioning this because I think it may be
related, since this keyboard is a little "exotic" compared to others, so to
speak. It's a gaming keyboard.
