Hi all!, long time lurker on the old forum. Never had to post as all my questions were answered in time. Now, I have a problem that I seem to remember seeing on the old board. My volume buttons have stopped working (Mute too). I have not loaded any new drivers (that I know of) and have only updated my Zone Alarm Firewall. Has anybody else come across this type of problem?

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can say that the buttons require nothing special to control the volume of the system. For my laptop, as soon as I install a sound driver (the one from Windows Update), the buttons work. They do not have an OSD, but using Microsoft Intellitype fixes that problem. I would try Intellitype as a tester since it seems to take over all control of the special buttons (Play, Stop, Fwd, Rev, Vol Up, Vol Down, Mute). As for another fix, I'm really not sure. I know that they work perfectly on a clean install, but beyond that I really can't help. Maybe someone else will have the solution.
