Up until yesterday ( I think ) I could hold down the volume keys on my
cherry Linux |Master keyboard and the volume would go up and down as it
should( this I had configured with the hotkeys function )
now all of a sudden I have to press, release.press release etc to decrease
or increase, each time it only goes down/up by a few percent instead of
smoothly
Anyone else seen the same?
This is with KDE 4.2.3 (116) and QT4.5, all updates as of about 3 hours ago.
I update pretty regular ( probably twice or three times a day ) and so have
no Idea exactly when the change happened and AFAIK I did not touch anything
audio related.

Hum, KDE/Repositories - openSUSE clearly states that Qt 4.5 should be used with KDE 4.3.x, for 4.2.x it recommends Qt 4.4.x.
Don’t know if it relates to your problem, but it surely solved the blank-icons-on-systray issue for me.
P.S.: What’s an AFB?

Yep, but not got anything to do with my prob really, been using Qt4,5 with
4.2.2 and 4.2.3 for a while with no probs, just all of a sudden I have to
tap the button to adjust instead for hold down to auto-slide the volume

No probs, it ,might be an added extra somewgere that has crept in, will have
to investigate when I have time

[QUOTE=baskitcaise;1983953]just all of a sudden I have to
tap the button to adjust instead for hold down to auto-slide the volume
I had this issue with a HP laptop about a year ago. After installing OS 11.0/KDE 5.5.9 the volume buttons would raise the kmix slider and only change the volume incrementally. Before, with OS 10.2 and KDE3, the volume buttons would show a slider OSD in the middle of the screen, and work as expected.
After some research I found that the kmilo utility was not installed by default. It comes with the kdeutils3-laptop package from the KDE:KDE3 repository. The version I have currently installed is 3.5.10-48.2.
Note that even after installing it sometimes the volume keys would start the OSD slider (good, pretty, fast), and other times the kmix slider (bad, ugly, slow :))
After a bunch of upgrades (KDE 3.5.9 -> 3.5.10, etc.) only the OSD shows (good).
Hope it helps.
