You could map them to some command.
I am using xbindkeys for that.

Hi
Me. too. "xbindkeys" is really useful. Have a look at the "xev" command, it will help you

Here is my .xbindkeysrc it is designed for a Logitech G11 keybord and a logitech MX5180 mouse:

May I ask, what exactly a volume wheel is?
Does it send key strokes to the pc, or it soe kind of analog tuner?

Maybe a bit late, but can be useful for someone else.
You can edit .config/opengbox/lxde-rc.xml and add the following keybinds for volume wheel and mute.
<!-- Keybindings for audio volume -->
<keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>amixer -q set Master 1- unmute</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>amixer -q set Master 1+ unmute</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>amixer -q set Master toggle</execute>
</action>
</keybind>

Hi!
Ive got the same problem with an external USB Keyboard on my
notebook.
Ive tried to change .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml as stated by
User minisori. It doesnt work with the special volume-keys,
like "XF86AudioLowerVolume".
But it works - for example with F2 - when I replace "XF86AudioLowerVolume"
with "F2".
So what I have to do, to get the special volume keys alive?
Thanks
Rudolf

Hi,
have a look at what "xev" says. You also need special packages for some keys, just google it.
