    Has anyone got a working volume OSD on the R2? I note that the R1 needed an update to the OSD program and also a matching BIOS update. Running latest version of both for the R2, but no sign of a volume OSD.

    I know about 3RVX, would just prefer not to have to run something else if the Alienware OSD program is running anyway.

    all you have to do to fix this is update to the most recent bios at the dell support page, which at the moment is A03. also update your OSD driver from the dell support page. this worked for me!!!

    1 - Update BIOS to A03 (m11x R2)
    2 - Download latest OSD (m11x R2)
    enjoy

    You could also forego the Dell OSD altogether, and get 3RVX. I find it to be a much better OSD for volume than the Dell OSD.
