How to tinker with default multimedia bindings?

[Voom]

I'm trying to reset/overwrite the multimedia keybindings. The problem I have is the mute button seems to somehow be bound directly to the direct device so it only mutes but doesn't unmute. How could I reset this and bind it only to the pulseaudio device's mute?

For Gnome/Cinnamon the following command resets all settings:

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings

For setting your own bindings using Xmodmap (part of package x11-xserver-utils) is the most adjustable I know of:
