Has anyone ever seen this when trying to adjust your volume using the volume buttons:



Very aggravating, it only recently started showing up, I think it might have something to do with the recent software updates. I'm running the latest version of OS X all updates etc on a C2D Macbook Pro.

Hmmm never mind, very strange... Restarting did not help, but logging in and then logging out, and trying to adjust the volume while logged out seems to have fixed it... Very odd.

Do you have external speakers connected digitally?

I have external speakers, though they're connected via analog I believe. Just using a regular headphone jack thing. I forgot to mention that I was able to adjust it through System Preferences but just not with the keys.

Edit: Actually I tried restarting without them connected and it didn't fix it. Logging out and adjusting the volume did the trick for some strange reason though.
