  1. None of these helped. I can’t tell where this issue came from, but I know it was after my music player, Youtube Music, crashed. Now, I can’t pause/skip/adjust media using any of the keys that are supposed to do those things. This issue is carrying over on all kinds of media, not just Youtube. It is affecting my media player as well.
