Hi there, Wanted to let you know that I fixed the problem, it appears. Pulse audio pasystray seems to be the issue afaiu. Below are the steps to make the multimedia volume keys work on pinebook pro: 1. Open Keyboard from Settings and remove the volume shortcuts from the applications shortcut tab. 2. Open Session and Startup settings and deselect Pulse audio pasystray to disable from autostarting. 3. Reboot to make sure you don't have pasystray starting on the notification area. 4. Right click on the panel to add "Pulse Audio Plugin" to your panel. That is it. You may want to reboot once more to ensure all your panel items are in place. Pulse Audio Plugin of XFCE is better suited for daily usage than pasystray imho as it is less cluttered.

thank you for the directions. I issued the command on xfce terminal; however, it complained about the firewall I am using and suggested using Based on the command directions, I am posting the output below

Hi, I am currently using Armbian on my Pinebook Pro. I am having an issue with the volume up and down keys on Armbian. They are not working; other keys like brightness control seem to work without issues. I have checked the XFCE keyboard application shortcuts and there seem to be two items relevant to volume control: amixer set Master 5%+ amixer set Master 5%- I have checked out other xfce based distros and they don't have these explicit shortcut. Do I need to delete these items to make the volume up/down keys work? I was also asssuming that pulseaudio is the default software for managing volume (not alsamixer). Do I need to play with alsa settings? I would be appreciative if anyone can help me in fixing the volume up/down buttons in my pinebook pro. Best
