    Yes I can change volume ingame. I play Counter-Strike Source and Civ 5 no probs. You may need to update to newest Alienware software.

    I have the same problem. In some games the change volume buttons don`t work. You can also minimize the game by pressing "windows logo button" or "ctrl + alt + delete "

    Mine works no problem. I don't think I updated any AW software, but windows is up to date.
