On my keyboard I have a few multimedia keys volume + / volume - / mute. (gum right button on the keyboard more accessible than [ctrl ][+], [ctrl ][-], [M])
Act directly on the master volume.
Since version 9 VLC, these keys are not functional at all.
to adjust the volume, I (we) require VLC to move forward and plan to use the mouse wheel or a combination of keys.
I tried to reconfigure the keyboard shortcuts without success.
