Multimedia keys no longer working (HP ze44xx laptop)

[Konstantin Svist]

Nice site!

However, it looks like it doesn't quite apply in my case. I don't see 
any error messages in dmesg and there's a slight reaction from the 
system when I press the volume up/down keys:
If I go to KMix's global shortcuts and try to assign a key - the tab 
focus disappears from the button when I press the volume key - but 
nothing else happens.
Seems like the key is recognized internally somewhere but something is 
preventing it from working...

How do I find out where the problem lies?

Thanks
