Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello there,
my media keys "play/pause" , "forward", "backward" do not work anymore under Mojave 10.14.5.
I already googled a little and mostly found this possible issue: https://major.io/2014/07/30/playpause-button-stopped-working-in-os-x-mavericks/
But: I do not have Chrome installed.
Does anyone have any idea what's could be wrong?
Greets,

In addition to the good suggestions you already got, test to see if:
-the media keys work on a different account (you can use the guest account for this test)
-the media keys work on your account when booted in Safe Mode
If the matter is still unresolved, Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.
Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.

NVRAM reset might work, not sure though. Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
Otherwise I'm at my wits end :)
Check if the last option in the keyboard settings is unchecked. If it's checked then volume controls don't work. You'll find the keyboard settings in the System Preferences.
Edit:
Latest version of Mojave is 10.14.6. So you can update your system to get it and it's supplemental update.
Hello all,
thanks for your replies.
I amde an update to 10.14.6 and now it works again.
Strange... I dind´t find anything related to this in the release notes.
But it´s solved for me.
This option is not activated, so this is not the cause.
Is there any other possible cause?
