[SOLVED] Keyboard volume control in Openbox

Hi guys, I have been trying to get my keyboard keys control the volume in openbox. I have pnmixer installed, systray applet shows on tint2 and I also have xfce4-volumed installed from the AUR. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Re: [SOLVED] Keyboard volume control in Openbox

Did you set the keys in your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml like it says in the openbox wiki?

Did that, I thought it was one or the other. rc.xml way or xfce4-volumed ?

Thanks keyboard control works now.

Now, how to get a notification on volume change+-/mute?

You're welcome. Glad you worked it out. Don't forget to mark your post as solved. As to the other question I am unsure. I do not use this feature. If it is something that is handled by xfce4-volumed I would think maybe installing "xfce4-notifyd" or similar may work but I don't know (assuming you're talking about some kind of osd style thing where bubbles come up on the desktop and show you stuff). Other than that no clue on my end.
