How do I activate sound (volume) control from my keyboard?

Question

How do I make the sound volume control buttons from my Logitech keyboard work again?   I lost this after the last Windows 10 update.

Answer 1

Hi Erwin

Here is the manual for your keyboard, there does not seem to be any way to map keys to the volume on your PC, unless that cane with specific software that allows you to change the functions of any of those keys . . .

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Anthony.

I'm Independent Advisor and I'm happy to assist you.

I understand how difficult it is, when the device or app won't work in the way it should. Since you've done a different possible way to resolved this issue. I would suggest to uninstall the update and go back to the previous version of Windows, were your computer is working normally. Check on the link below for troubleshooting guidelines.

Thank you, Sourav.  Unfortunately, it didn't work.  (Also, the path you indicated did not conform to what I saw, but I did find the Device Manager and then uninstalled the keyboard, restarted the computer, and to be doubly sure, updated the driver. The feedback was that the best driver for the keyboard is installed.)

What to do?

This all started with a Windows 10 updates of 9 June, presumably this one:

(The other one, installed the same day, was for Adobe Flash Player.)

Also, after this update, a search bar appears at the bottom of my screen every time I start typing something -- very annoying!

I'm so fed up with MS. Glad they stopped updating Skype -- every time they did, my wife had to reset to use the Logitech C170 camera (the camera built in to her laptop always showed her upside down).

Answer 4

Thanks again, Sourav but again no dice. I did what you said, then -- there being no improvement -- also updated each of the drivers for these three devices, as well as the one for the keyboard. No change.

Does that MS update give any clue?

Answer 5

In that case, try reinstalling sound drivers.

1. Open device manager and expand "Sound Video and Game Controller".
2. Uninstall all the devices listed under that and choose "Uninstall".
3. Restart the system and check.

If the issue persists then try updating sound drivers manually and try different versions available for it.
