So I set out to diagnose an issue I have with stuttering sound and I found it. Pulse audio seems to just not like some embedded videos in some games and it stutters to the point the games arent playable so I got rid of Pulse and updated Alsa. This improved game performance and fixed my problem.... but created another one in the process.
The volume buttons on my laptop no longer work. This is a major irritation when watching movies etc. I have checked the keyboard shortcuts and they havent changed. In fact I changed them and then changed them back with no luck. I have also bound the volume buttons to the + and - keys and they also dont do anything. I can change the sound via alsamixer but this is less then ideal. I googled a bit but all the suggestions I came across dont apply as they are for when the OS doesn't recognize the keys.
Mine recognize the keys, it just doesnt do anything, and furthermore, it doesnt do anything if I rebind the keys either. Anyone have any suggestions?
