Is the volume up/down button supposed to work on the R01?

If so, what’s the modifier for switching between up and down?

I don’t think it seems to be configured for me, although the Fn+\<\> buttons do adjust screen brightness.

Are the gamepad buttons also supposed to be configured? I can’t see a reference to these in the wiki or the pre-installed twm config.

It seems to be working for me. Tapping the volume key on its own lowers the volume, holding Fn while tapping it raises the volume.

huh - thanks for confirming, I’ll have another look! I didn’t see anything change in aumix but maybe I was doing something wrong! Great to know that Fn is the modifier there.

I’m seeing the same issue on my R-01. I can lower the volume by pressing the volume button, but I can’t raise the volume by pressing Fn+Vol. To increase the volume I have to go into ALSA Mixer and raise.
