Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
I just purchased the MS Media Digital Pro keyboard and everything works except my volume up and down buttons. The mute button will work but I can't control the volume. I have WINXP home version on a Dell 4100 series desktop with SP2 installed. Everything else works just fine but I can't seem to figure out how to program the volume buttons. They should work on their own I would have thought.

Re: Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
Most multimedia keyboards require a program to be loaded to make the "extra" buttons work. Did you install the program from the cd?

Re: Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
Yes, I installed the software CD. I've gone to the control panel for the key assignments but there is no adjustment for up and down, just the mute/unmute

Try the software from the web to see if it fixes this.

Re: Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
I looked at the download... my driver version is 6.1.248.0 but the location said it was for Microsoft USB Digital Media Pro Keyboard (IntelliType Pro) 5.20.413.0. Do you feel that might help correct the problem or is an older driver?

Re: Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
Let's try this another way. If it works, it is easier.
Go to the system control panel Hardware tab and device manager button now click the plus next to keyboards double click on the microsoft keyboard Driver tab Click on the roll back driver It may ask something like "are you sure" say yes reboot and see if this helps

Re: Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
Why I want to roll back the drivers if the first drivers didn't work and I've just updated to the newest drivers available and it still doesn't work?
It's probably a Dell/Microsoft thing. Don't know why Dell can't make their products to work with other pheriphals... I'd buy more of their stuff... Because of this kind of problems I'm more inclinded to buy other brands.. bah! |

Re: Microsoft Media Pro Keyboard Volume Buttons Not Working
Dell does make strange computers.
It may work with a usb hub. Another idea is get a pci usb card. These normally behave better than onboard.
