I also get this, like Jan Haak says, it changes the non default volume. For me, the volume of the sound that i actually hear is "Analog Front", but the keyboard volume keys only change "ICE958 C"

It also happened to me on dapper as well. -- Volume keyboard shortcut fails to increase volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/36302 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
