Some Linux Software having problems under Windows 8
 

I am using Windows 8 x64 (dual boot with Linux Mint in mdadm raid) with Clementine 1.1.1. The multimedia keys "next" and "previous" tracks are not working. The pause/play multimedia key works. Mute and volume keys are used to control system volume. I have gone to Clementine preferences and set "Next Track". it listens for me to push a key. I push the forward multimedia key. It recognizes under Clementine preferences, and I save the changes. I do the same for the back key. However, neither of the keys work. I read a bug about microsoft intellitype software causing a problem, but I cannot find that software installed on my system and the symptoms of that bug with multimedia keys are different than mine.

I am confused you wouldn't have Linux software running under Windows 8 and there seems to be a problem with the multimedia keys, but in which OS. Are they not working on Linux or Windows 8? If Linux do you have the correct keyboard mapping? Is there a mapping for your keyboard yet? If it's windows 8 was windows 8 the Operating System that came with the PC?

Clementine is a fork of Amarok 1.4 from KDE, and has been ported to Windows. I am using the Windows port of this software.

Windows 8

Not sure why you asked that, but no, it wasn't. I bought parts including the hard drives and built this computer, so no operating system came with it.

Well if Clementine has been ported to Windows than it is now Windows application when running on Windows, not a Linux application running on Windows. Do the multimedia keys work in Windows media player? or Windows 8 in general? The issue may not be the software, it could be Windows 8 if the keys just don't work at all. If it is the software I am not familiar enough with Clementine to tell you where to look other than the preferences section.
