    Hello everyone,

    I've got a HIPER SE Multimedia keyboard, and generally all of the multimedia buttons work great in Vista, but one thing that bothers me is that the volume control keys don't control the overall system volume. Indeed, I'm not sure if they control anything but the Winamp volume at the moment which is obviously a problem. So, is there some way I can configure the volume up and down keys to adjust the overall system volume in Vista?

    No one has any ideas? Hmm. I had hoped it was possible, but judging by the number of responses it appears it might not be.

    Edit - Certainly someone here has a multimedia keyboard and runs Vista. So, do your keyboard volume controls adjust the overall system volume?
