How do I make my volume up, down, and mute buttons work in linux? I tried using the control center in kde, but that did not work. Any suggestions?

You'll probably need to read up on xmodmap. I think it can do what you need.

Try using xev to find the keycodes. If it doesn't show anything when you hit that key, then I guess you are out of luck. 
I assume you've searched both the forums and google for your particular keyboard to see if anyone else has managed to do what you want...

xev is a very good way to see what a key (keyboard or mouse) is producing.
you can try using the 'evdev' drivers
I used lineakd to get the multimedia keys on my keyboard to work |
