Binding keys to volume controls

I'm using an IBM Model M keyboard with a PS2->USB adaptor on my 10.5.5 iMac. I have managed to bind expose, dashboard, spaces, etc. to the F-keys but I can't find where I can bind increase and decrease volume to F-keys.
Can anyone please tell me how I can bind increase volume to F12 and decrease volume to F11?

you can't rebind volume keys. does your keyboard have a function key? if it does, try function+F-keys. your volume controls may be there depending on how your keyboard system preferences are set up. there is a box in system preferences->keyboard&mouse->keyboard that flips functionality of F-keys and function+F-keys.

  • Remapping PC Keyboard keys for volume control

    I got an XArmor keyboard because I love mechanical keyswitches. Works great with my Mac.
    However, I do miss having volume control.
    How can I remap keys like say Option->Apple->+ to be the increase volume key?
    The +, -, and enter keys on the numeric keypad would be great for volume control.
    The only software I found so far for doing this was very clumsy and unreliable: Sparks.

    Use the side edge volume controls.
    There's no keyboard controls that I know of, other than the # key might place your device on the Silent profile (or the top edge MUTE key )

  • How volume control on 3rd party cherry keyboard

    I'm using a 3rd party Cherry PC keyboard on a Mac Pro and would like to assign the F10, F11 and F12 keys for volume controls. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

    For those with the same problem i found some nice scripts that work great with Quicksilver.
    http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/nine-time+saving-quicksilver-triggers -291520.php
    here's the direct link for the scripts:
    http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2007/08/quicksilver-volume-controls.zip
    You can also use Quicksilver’s iTunes Triggers to assign commands to your function keys. But sound volume will only change for iTunes and not the whole system.

  • Lumia 920 volume control bar with extra icons

     If those icons are an annoyance to you, you can install an app called Stop the music. Then after you have finished listening to your music you can use that app which will clear the music control icons from the volume bar.

  • SB Surround Mixer Volume Bind Keys/Quick K

    Howdy,
    I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible (either with an external program or not) to assign quick keys or bind keys to functions within the Surround Mixer for my Audigy 2 Platinum.
    For example, I have a Logitech keyboard with a scroll wheel on the side and I within the Logitech software it is possible to assign it to control the master volume, but for my purposes I would like it (or even some regular keys on the keyboard) to control the gain slider for the the Auxiliary 2 Input. This would be helpful to me, so I can mix the volume of my audio coming in via RCA into Aux 2 on the fly, while Im in a fullscreen application that is also running audio that doesn't take kindly to being alt tabbed - which makes it difficult to open the Surround Mixer Window every time I want to change something.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    It has no symbol on xev, and acpi_listen says:

    I have no idea what to do for that.
    From [ibm-acpi-devel] ThinkVantage key on ThinkPad X61
    Is the mask value for this key 0x00000080 or 0x00001018?
    Neither.  In the documentation, you'll see a table with an entry for
    each key.  The table shows the "ACPI event" code (0x1018 in your]
    example) and the "scan code" (0x17 corresponds to that event).
    The documentation mentioned above is the README of the ibm-acpi,
    where you hav ACPI events and scan codes explained. But, that's low-level thingy.
    To configure the ThinkVantage button, simply follow instructions from the How to get special keys to work. For example,  Open an application
    where you can find out keycode with xev and map desired action with xmodmap.
    (On my T400, under X11 the ThinkVantage button generates event with keycode 156. You need to check yours using xev.)

    If someone has some tips/clues, please share.
    Check the ThinkWiki article above, there are audio buttons explained too.

    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Regards,

  • How to remap volume control keys on aluminum keyboard?

    I want to remap my volume control keys (increase, decrease and mute toggle) to F16, F17, and F18 on my new aluminum keyboard. But I can't figure out how to do this. I called AppleCare tech support and was told that volume key location is hardwired into the keyboard. Say it ain't so! There's got to be a way, right?
    Help?
    thank you!

    I second this, I still think this was a poor decision on Apple's part. I loved real media keys, this is not a laptop keyboard, (Fn)+(..) should not be necessary. My real complaint comes from IF i can get it to remap in OSX i am still stuck with it as is in Bootcamp. No remapping programs work with (Fn) in XP.
    Sorry for the rant but I have actually stopped using the keyboard because of this and finally went back to it to try again.

  • Media key volume control stepper, how to change?

    So I just started using kdemod, and I got my multimedia keys working but I'm wondering how to change the volume stepper? Right now it changes the volume by 10% for every step made by my media volume control keys. I would like to have it set to something more sane like 2-3%. Anybody know what I'm talking about or can offer some help? Thanks.

    Hi,
      "Default value" tab is in Work center. Check for the same in CR02 (Workcenter change view)
      In CA02, in Operations Overview, you can change the control key in the routing.
      Hope this is clear now..

  • Volume Control Keys Not Working

    I got a new MacBook Pro last week and i've noticed that the volume control keys on the keyboard are not working.  When I press any of the keys, the grey box that typically appears does show up, but the volume level indicator does not move and there is a small circle underneath with a line through it that shows up every time as well. The only thing that changes is the actual speaker icon, which will change from having a line through it to not having a line through it and vice versa. I've checked the setting for the F# keys, and this is not "checked" in the settings.  I'm not sure if this is something I can fix or if it is something I will have to go into the store to have checked out - suggestions?

    I cant believe nobody has a fix on this!

  • Volume control keys in Vista

    hi All,
    my volume control keys (Fn+F3, F4, F5) don't seem to be working. Even though after pressing them the regular speaker image is showing up on the screen, the volume level doesn't change (on that image or on the actual speaker control panel). There's also little white crossed circle on the bottom of the speaker image
    Any ideas?

    Interesting...
    What I notice is that my SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC driver is dated as 01/02/2007. I believe it's Windows Update that update the driver, so I rolled back to the previous one (21/06/2006).
    After system restart, volume control is working again however there's no sound
    So no joy...

  • My F 11 and F 12 keys no longer control volume unless I push the func button.  How can I correct this

    How can I reset my keypad so that the volume controls work (f11 and F 12)?  They now toggle back and forth between dashboard

    Open the Keyboard System Preferences and check to see whether the 'Use all F1,F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' option is selected. If it is, uncheck the option and see if that resolves your issue.

  • Function keys (i.e., volume control) not working.

    I just noticed that none of my function keys (i.e., volume control) appear to be working.  I have an Apple wireless keyboard. It is correctly paired.
    I tried a PRAM reset, which did nothing.

    System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard - make sure the top box isn't checked.

  • My volume control keys on my keyboard are not working.

    All of the keys on my keyboard are working except for the f10, f11, and f12 keys (those which control the volume). I have tried to fix this problem in system preferences but can't seem to find a place to fix the problem. I have a macbook pro.

    try a pram reset
    Resetting PRAM
       Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
