Are the keys recognised? Have you checked?

When you run this command:

xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode \
/s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'

Do you get any output?

I had a problem with the volume keys not working on my laptop
recently, but the above command gave the output of:

123 XF86AudioRaiseVolume
122 XF86AudioLowerVolume
121 XF86AudioMute

And using xbindkeys solved it (well, a Debian user told me how to
solve it using xbindkeys!):
