Whenever I try pause or next/previous on Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, nothing happens. No other music apps are open, and I have it set to global in Chrome. What should I do?

Can you show us any terminal output? – HalosGhost Oct 06 '14 at 03:13

I don't know what to put into terminal. Sorry, I'm bad with all this stuff – Aaron Austin Oct 06 '14 at 03:26

run the program from the terminal. It should output any relevant errors there during runtime. – HalosGhost Oct 06 '14 at 03:34

Run chrome from terminal? Because all it is is just a web app. – Aaron Austin Oct 06 '14 at 03:38

Oh, this is the web app? I mistakenly thought you were referring to the native application. The note about Chrome was quite confusing to me. I don't often think of web pages as capturing media key presses. – HalosGhost Oct 06 '14 at 03:43

On Windows or even Elementary OS, it works fine. Just not on 14.04 for some reason :/ – Aaron Austin Oct 06 '14 at 03:44

But yeah. it's a web app, just Google Music running on Chrome, and I use it entirely for music, so I can't use Ubuntu 14.04 because of that :/ – Aaron Austin Oct 06 '14 at 18:59

Try disabling the media keys and restarting Chrome:
- navigate to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Sound and Media;
- select the keybinding of interest and press backspace to disable it;
- do it for all media keys;
- restart Chrome.

2This worked for me, thanks you, answer should be accepted. Of course the media keys do not seem to work for native apps now. Any idea how to get both to work? – pgschk Feb 14 '15 at 10:24

1Just to add a 2nd data point: it didn't work for me. I'll post another answer here if I figure out another way. – Chuim Jun 03 '15 at 08:55
