Open a konsole in KDE, type xev (enter) and see what happens, if you press any 
of the multimedia-buttons. Volumen up should give you something like 
XF86AudioRaiseVolume. If so, You can go into kcontrol > regional settings > 
keyboard layout and pick a multimedia keyboard, e.g. Logitech 
Internetnavigator. Done this, you can assign the multimedia-keys to e.g. 
kmix. Simply open the mixer-window, right-click on the icon above the 
master-volume > assign keys. Then click on an entry in the offerd list, 
followed by a click on the grey square at the bottom of that window, use the 
key you want to assign, done.

Sven
