It's the volume up and volume down key. It can be accessed by Dells
"function_key+page up or page dn". But they also have own keys for that.
There is a volume up/dn key and play,stop, next song, previous song.
Play, Stop, next, previous are working correctly.. Gnome keybinding
shows me that volume up key is 0xae and volume down 0xb0. But they don't
work. The programm xev shows me that volume up is keycode 176 and volume
down 174.
