Hellos everybody!
When I try to raise/decrease volume with my multimedia keys, my pc enters in freeze mode and I can't to do click elsewhere.
I have after to regulate again the volumen until that isn't blinking.

Welcome to the forums.

So, xev is showing that the correct key mapping (XF86AudioRaiseVolume) is happening--both key presses and key releases. Unfortunately, the xinput key definition (XF86AudioRaiseVolume) is grabbed by a lot of applications so sometimes there is a conflict. According to your video, it appears to be a conflict with the desktop environment/window manager (which appears to be Unity).

Perhaps boot another version of Ubuntu (such as Xubuntu) using a LiveUSB and see if the volume keys work correctly. That might narrow down the problem.

Is same problem, I tried in Xubuntu and Kubuntu.
Thanks for your response.
