    Yea, but there are no Windows 8 drivers available on the asus website :( What i did found was "ATKACPI driver and hotkey-related utilities" Probably the one i need, but it's for windows 7 :\ I'll give it a try.

    You can Somtimes use Win 7 drivers. You modify the drivers to be compatible with Win 8. I had to do the same with a Gateway MX6421 (2005) that was updated from Win XP 32bit to Win 7 64bit Pro N.

It's a commom problem when you upgrade to a new OS, Win 8. You have to find the Win 8 drivers. Is that the only thing? In Device Manager, search for hardware changes, locate Win 8 drivers at ASUS website.

I have a asus laptop and the sound button is f10 and the sound is bleu but i dont know how to turn it op or ndown ???

Many notebooks require a driver / support software to be installed in order to use hotkeys on the keyboard to control hardware - like a sound card. Go to the ASUS "Drivers & Downloads" site and download and install the latest drivers for the notebook. Once installed, you may find that pressing the Fn key AND the F10 (opr F11 or F12) keys at the same time like this: <Fn> + <F10> or <Fn> + <F11> or <Fn> + <F12> key combinations will control your speaker and volume up and down.

Volume control on Asus laptop. I need to turn up the volume!

Try the Fn key and F11 or F12 - that should turn up/down the volume on your Acer, depending on the model

Hope this helps - good luck!
