Keyboards additional buttons not working

Is it possible to control the master volume with some keyboard shortcut? I would prefer it to be without a use of some additional software.But if it isn't possible then the software should be pretty light-weight and not consume a lot of CPU/RAM. Thank you for your help.
PS: I DON'T intend to buy a multimedia keyboard for that.

Yes,you can create a Master Volume Shortcut and also assign a Shortcut Key.

Right click on a empty area on desktop, and click on New and Shortcut.

Paste the following in to the location of the item area:-

%windir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 49825268
Click Next button and give a name to the Shortcut and click Finish.

Now You right click on it and select Properties.

Click Shortcut tab.

Assign your desired shortcut key like F8 or F9 in the Shortcut Key area.

Click OK/Apply.

Is There Keyboard Shortcut For Volume Control

Those keys do not exist on normal keyboards so they are unique to your keyboard. You need to look at the make and model of your keyboard and use Google.com to search for information about it. Typically, manufacturers add extra keys to make it easier to change volume settings and open email or internet programs. The icons on the buttons should be a clue to their function.

I hope this helps.

Step 1:

You will have a unused keys on keyboard.
choose them. like pageup button, home, tilde button.
these buttons are not mostly used.

Step 2:

next, choose the non-working keys with these unused buttons.
like
pageup button- A
home- Enter key

If you are using windows 7, open the start menu and type "Adjust System Volume" in the search bar, then open the corresponding app it finds. If your volume sliders are all the way at the top, then the problem is probably that your new motherboard cannot amplify the line out as much as your old motherboard.

Also most modern laptops have dedicated volume up down buttons, or volume buttons in the F keys at the top of the keyboard. Try changing the volume with these to make sure it is at the max.

Hi mitsutezuka ,

• There is nothing that is related to virus in this problem, the volume control keys on the key board are extra keys which are usually found to malfunction over a period of time.
• Also these keys depends on the fact whether the keyboard requires a driver to be installed for them, which depends on the brand of keyboard and whether you received a driver cd along with the keyboard to enable that functionality etc..
• It could also happen that your operating system is not supporting the keys due to some driver update.
• In your case it seems that the keys are not functioning due to a circuit damage which is normal for such keyboards with extra keys, Though many people won't do that would recommend you to change or replace the keyboard with a new one because of this reason,if it's under warranty.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps...

By another keyboard they have them great prices for under $20.00 then replace its original. Problem is solved. John

You can either right click on the bottom taskbar and click on properties
and add the volume to the taskbar, or you can go to start, control panel,
sound, and turn up the volume.

It depends on what you are using to send email, outlook express
or a email like yahoo,hotmail. live google, if you use one of these
you do it with these site.

The touch pad has two buttons, it can do everything a mouse does.
The touch pad just moves the mouse, the left and right button is the same as mouse buttons.

Your Packard-Bell keyboard was designed to work specificaly with your PB system. The old computer came (probably pre-installed) with software and drivers that map the extra keys to functions like e-mail, calculator, volume control etc. It may be possible to make the keyboard work like it did on your old system by locating and installing the Packard Bell keyboard driver and software. Go to the PB website and select UK-Irish support location. From there go to support section and follow the automated support by filling in info such as model number etc. No guarantee it will work but worth a try.

I was using microsofts intelitype pro software

for my Dell multimedia keyboard..I had to run the program at every reboot. but it worked great for 2 years..But recently I had to reinstall windows and now I cant get that or any other program to work for my keyboard volume.

It could be a short in the cable to the computer or maybe corrupted software. To use those extra keys requires extra software so I'd be inclined to uninstall it and then then reboot and then reinstall. As those extra keys can be changed to almost anything you want them to do I'd bet on a software problem. Run the software that's installed on it now and see what it's set on now. It's pretty straight forward to reset everything. Oh and make sure the plug to the computer is plugged in fully
