Re: My audio buttons not working in #! 64-bit
This has always worked for me for controlling volume with the media keys. Add the following keybindings to your Openbox rc.xml:
<!-- Keybindings for volume control -->
<keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>amixer set Master 3+</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>amixer set Master 3-</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>amixer set Master toggle</execute>
</action>
</keybind>This controls the ALSA Master volume channel, so it's global within an Openbox session. (I always insert it at the top of the keyboard section, right under the ChainQuitKey line.)
I think playback/transport controls have to be set on a per-media-player basis, so if you tell us what media player(s) you use, we can help you out with that part too.
while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

I have done exactly the same as pvsage has quoted and use VLC Media Player which gives you the option to set the Play/Pause, Previous and Next buttons in preferences.
