    Main volume control outcasted


    Having trouble with the main volume control from my laptop. It does move but it doesnt control the volume levels of the different softwares or apps (youtube, Itunes etc). I can control the their volume from the volume mixer menu with their dedicated adjustment levels, but as I said the master volume control doesnt do anything anymore.


    I unchecked the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" but nothing happened. Dont know what to do, cause I can't use the keyboard to adjust the volume anymore, and thats quite annoying.


    Appreciate any help.

    :)
