what kind of laptop is it? some manufacturers wire up those keys to generate ACPI events instead of keyboard scancodes and you might need to load some stupid kernel module e.g. thinkpad_acpi.ko

maybe try the acpi_listen utility and see if the kernel is recognizing the keypresses as ACPI events? GNOME probably has its own daemon (GNOME Power Manager?) that handles ACPI events

the window is losing focus because the key events are getting sent to a different window which has registered for the global hotkeys and that other window isn't doing anything with them because you've deliberately chosen to hurt yourself by using some grognard window manager you should be able to see the volume key events with the "libinput debug-events" command running in a terminal

hbag posted:...well it doesnt seem to give an actual KeyPress and KeyRelease event like all the other keys on the keyboard, instead i get this when i tap f3 (the volume up key): xev reports these FocusIn/Out events to me because i3 has already mapped the volume up/down keys. Did you copy the default config from /etc/i3 when getting started? If you did, it's possible that the default volume control mappings aren't sending the appropriate commands to pipewire/pulse (it happened to me).

You should probably use Sway instead of I3, as it supports Wayland and I3 doesn't.

after manually trying the command the key is set up to run in my i3 config (pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +10%) it doesnt seem to actually do anything anyway so that might be it

Are you trying to use pipewire or pulseaudio? It looks like you're trying to install both.

i'm really happy this change is finally making it in. i had to mask my nvidia drivers to 535 because the 550 drivers caused awful stuttering in anything that was even remotely taxing on the GPU. i thought about putting the patches in myself but  would have bought an AMD but i built this PC when windows wasn't quite as terrible and linux gaming is mostly good now thanks to proton even with the bullshit nvidia garbage

Works for me. Pipewire is pretty good. Stop trying to janitor poo poo and do whatever your distro considers best. That's their job.

 pipewire is pretty cool and being able to edit OS level audio routing directly with qpwgraph is greatI just wish I could screen share with audio reliably  but I think this is a Wayland issue?

The most noteworthy changes for most users are a native VVC decoder (currently experimental, until more fuzzing is done), IAMF support, or a multi-threaded ffmpeg CLI tool. lol i had no idea VVC was this far along? isn't it just going to be a big ol' pile of patents that no one is gonna want to voluntarily use? quote:To reduce the risk of the problems seen when licensing HEVC implementations, for VVC a new group called the Media Coding Industry Forum (MC-IF) was founded.[15][16] However, MC-IF had no power over the standardization process, which was based on technical merit as determined by consensus decisions of JVET.[17]

sound sucks on any os the moment you dare try anything beyond plugging in a usb or Bluetooth setup. windows loves to randomly change the bitrate on my buddy’s professional mic when he plugs it into a mixer. pipewire has at least reached parity with the desktop OSes in that I haven’t had to dick with it for a pair of sennheisers plugged into a DAC/amp via usb
