    Just completed a clean install and re-set up. (Crosses Fingers) I think I only have one issue. My volume keys are not working, I am not sure what driver I missed. I have beats audio, all the media keys work, the only thing not workingare the volume up and down keys (mute does work). Any Ideas of what i might of missed?


    Thanks

    I saw a new quick keys drivers up on the HP support page. Check if you can trigger fn+esc for the sysinfo screen. It says it's what controls that.

    Or maybe you changed the bios setting of toggling using fn to use the keys at the Fx places.

    When I did my clean install, I only installed the drivers from SwSetup\Drivers\.

    There were no quick keys drivers as part of this directory when I installed, and all of my keys work normally. I would check the BIOS settings as recommended.

    Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly neither did the trick. I installed the fast keys from the HP website and tried changing the bios. I tried both enabeled and disabled. Still the two volume keys are not working. What is weird is that the mute key works and all media keys.
    Quick question. I seem to remember before I clean installed that I would get two slider bars when I would click the the speaker symbol down in the menu bar. Now I am only getting one (speakers and headphones) I have a feeling I missed installing something.
