    I have the A205-S5859 and I am using iTunes. The media buttons will only work if I maximize iTunes. Can someone help me?

    Mine is the same with the Satellite L25. I always assumed that is how it's designed... To control the active program (defining 'active program' by the one in the foreground). Because of that I've always thought of the buttons as pretty useless.

    I'll be interested to see if maybe that's not how it's designed and I've been missing out on the use of them! :)

    If you use Windows Media Player, they work regardless if the player is up or minimized.
