I think you may have encountered what I was getting at in #32

GNOME has tied hotkey support into gnome-shell, such that hotkeys no
longer work without gnome-shell in any gnome-derivative desktops (like
Unity).

The GNOME team has provided a utility to restore hotkey support without
gnome-shell: gnome-fallback-media-keys-helper

At the moment, the only Ubuntu package available is in the Zorion OS PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~zorin-os/+archive/ubuntu/packages

Rather than add the whole PPA, it's probably a better idea to download
the one package and install it with dpkg.

Title:
  Media keyboard shortcuts not working

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unity source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I can map the Volume Control keys in Keyboard Shortcuts e.g. Volume
  up/down to Volume up/down, but when I press the Volume keys on the
  keyboard nothing happens.

  I have noticed the same problem with other keys on my Logitech Internet 350 keyboard with Tools, Mail, and HomePage.
  They can all be mapped with Keyboard Shortcuts, but nothing happens afterwards when the keyboard key is pressed.

  All these keyboard settings worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu.
