    I need help. I bought the ASUS: G60Vx used. from, Newegg.com. I bought it for the use of gaming "Steam" Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and so on. But, the volume keys don't work. The volume keys are on "F10" (Mute) "F11" (Lower Volume) and "F12" (Increase Volume). I need help. They don't work. I searched the whole laptop. I do not see any other volume control on the laptop what so ever, besides on the laptop screen "destop". The ASUS: G60Vx didn't come with a manual either. Please help me!

    Thank you.

    Is it that your volume hotkeys don't work at all, outside of the game on your normal desktop, or that they don't work inside a game?

    Not all games will let you change the volume from within the game, since they trap the keyboard and the hotkey handler will never know you are pressing those keys.

    Do, I have to activate something before to use them. Or what? Press a certain button to make them work. Ugh.

    All Asus models have the same hotkeys.

    Uninstall the ATK stuff. Reboot. Reinstall everything in the ATK drivers list. Your hotkeys should work after that.

    I bought this laptop from Newegg.com "used" It's in perfect condition, I would say. It didn't come with a manual -__-" But, I need help with my Volume Keys. They don't work. The Volume Keys are on (F10, F11, and F12) You know, Mute, Decrease, and Increase volume. But, the Volume Keys do not work! I need help. Someone please help me!

    P.S, I reinstalled ATK Hotkeys and ATK Driver. Everything. Still, no result! Do I need to activate some key for my Volume Keys to work? Or what!? Help me!!!!
