Only those three keys won't work. Volume, screen brightness keys are working like a charm. Anyone know what's the problem? I tried already manualy to adjust media shortcuts eventho I knew it's system adjusted, so I opened up System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Sound & Media but everthing is ok there...

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on my HP 250 G4 Notebook, standard keyboard with numeric keys.

  • we need to know the make and model of either the keyboard or the computer, preferably both

  • Start xev and check if there is a output for the keys

Typing xev in the terminal solved my problem, play/pause, next, previous multimedia keys are working now.

    I'm afraid you've got something misunderstood. xev shows only some information about the keys and mouse events. The program lets keys not suddenly working.
