[SOLVED]Free multimedia keys which reserved by xfce

Hello,
I started using xfce again after a long time(I used cinnamon mainly) and I have a problem with media keys. I'm using a pc remote control with kodi and some of the keys(play/pause, stop, fwrd/backwrd) don't work in kodi, which I think, means that used for other actions by xfce. In Settings->Keyboard->keyboard Shortcuts, there isn't any entry for these keys. Is there any other place to look? How can I find what using them so to free them?

I answer myself. I found that volume control applet has also a setting to reserve multimedia keys for control media play. I had disabled the volume keys there, but I didn't know that has this setting too. After I unchecked this option the keys started working again in kodi.
