    Hello everyone,

    I am running Windows 7 on my z96j. I installed the Vista drivers for using the hotkeys from a thread in this forum. However, all the other functions on the keyboard work (brightness, screen change, play, stop, etc) except the volume control does not work. I read in another forum that it also occurred for people using Vista (I jumped from XP to 7). When you open up the sound mixer, you can see that the HControl has its own volume control and is not tied in with the rest of the volume controls. Basically, when I increase/decrease the volume using the Fn buttons, it only moves the volume mixer of HControl but it does not change the actual volume whatsoever. So I was wondering if there was any way to fix this? i would really like to be able to control my system volume from the keyboard if possible.

    Thank you for your help.
