   USB device sending random volume up sign   
   11 Dec 22 16:32:15   
   
   From: no@nyet.net   
      
   	I have an IOGear USB wireless keyboard/mouse combo which,   
   although both devices work well, they seem to be sending random volume up   
   signals: there are many entries along the lines   
      
   	Dec 11 07:57:53 xyz root: ACPI action volumeup is not defined   
      
   in my syslog, and I can indeed notice that the volume of my sound device   
   keeps getting increased because of this. I know this is related to this   
   combo because it only started happening when I replaced my old USB   
   keyboard and mouse - which were connected to my system with cables - and   
   it disappears when I revert to this old setup.   
      
   	While getting rid of the syslog entries is easy enough, I am at a   
   loss concerning why those signals keep being sent. I had a look into the   
   output from lsmod, and removed two modules - joydev and usbtouchscreen -   
   on the grounds that I have no such devices, and were of course not being   
   used by anybody. However, the random volume up signals keep coming.   
      
   	While not a deal breaker, this is irritating. Anybody got any   
   suggestions how to eliminate this issue?
