    Hi,

    First post here. I just got my first laptop ever M17x R3 and have a question.

    It seems that volume control through media controls is working only in windows, when I am in the game it does not affect in game volume.

    Is this how it suppose to work or is not functioning properly?

    Thanks in advance.

    Works in most games for me. But, it'll go to the desktop if I'm on fullscreen. The volume buttons only don't work while playing Donkey Kong on Dolphin. For some reason it works on all other NGC/Wii games. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It was the same on the media buttons on my old HP lappy.
