[Solved] Fn keys are not working properly

When I use function keys to increase/decrease brightness or the volume,  It does it but only once and pulseaudio hangs up for a time, also when I use fn keys, pulse audio hangs up and I wont be able to do much
also when I press Play/Pause/Next/Prev twice, It does once and the next one takes seconds or minutes to done! too lazy.

I have tested these on my PhoenixOS and it works fine so I think it's not a hardware problem.

Could this be a problem with xorg? because I recently reinstalled xorg and after that there is nothing in /etc/X11.

Re: [Solved] Fn keys are not working properly

when you run xev and press the multimedia buttons, what happens in the output of xev?
(if you don't have xev, then install xorg-xev package)

Keep it simple, stupid.

Re: [Solved] Fn keys are not working properly

The problem was with xfce4-notifyd service. it failed because I didn't have /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh file. I was able to restore it by reinstalling systemd package. Thanks for reply kilix.
