I am having trouble enabling my media keys on my keyboard. Running Ubuntu 18.10 an I am using a Razor Huntsman elite keyboard which has the pause/play, skip, previous, mute buttons and a dial for the volume.

Gnome is abstracting the low level media key press events away from individual programs, and using dbus instead. There is quite a bit of workaround to get the "old way" back.

BUT, There is a bug in gnome-settings-daemon that was corrected in version 3.32.1. Ubuntu 19+ pulls in the fixed version, so anyone running 18 or below is affected, unless they patch GSD.

See my answer here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1241511/619638 There are also instructions for patching and compiling GSD.
