Any of you guys know where to define the volume knobs? They do work in most distros (#!, Mint, Fedora, openSuse to name a few, yes I am a cheap distro slut, I am sorry)
Thanks in Advance

To get the quickest possible help, mention the exact release codename in your post (uname -a is a good idea, too). Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

Re: Volume knobs on my laptop don't work
You mean the physical one? Or on the desktop per se? Which DE/WM?
You can by all means manipulate sound with the "amixer" command or the "alsamixer" tool.
Check the latter, from a terminal.

If you have alsamixer or whatnot in your panel right click on it and there should be a 'Preferences' option. In it there is a hotkeys section which is not selected by default. Tick the boxes and it should turn them on.
Otherwise I'm sure another kind fellow will give you some help mapping them correctly.
