To resolve this, one must first bypass the fact that about:config is not available on Android any more:

  1. Go-to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
  2. set general.aboutConfig.enable to true (for next time)

Then he/she needs to set media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled to false.

P.S. I'd like to express an opinion that it was very bad decision to disable about:config as it was great compromise between customizability and user simplicity. Customizability received major hit by disabling it. 👎
