If you use bluetooth, you may have the same problem as with the volume 
control. The volume workaround is good for me, but there is a discussion 
on the bug itself about fixing the bluetooth, which seems to revolve 
around installing the blueman from the debian repo. I used "rfkill block 
bluetooth" when i wanted to switch it off. (unblock to turn it on)

The problem is something to do with gtk versions and support.
