Windows 10: Is there a way to make volume keys on a keyboard control only one app e.g Spotify?

Title says it, I have a keyboard that has dedicated media keys including volume. Is there a way to make this volume keys control only Spotify?

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

 

Control Spotify with Multimedia Keyboard

Windows 10. Corsair Raptor K50 keyboard.

On my keyboard I have a couple of multimedia keys and a scrollwheel which controls the Windows volume mixer. This controls the overall volume of all the sounds coming from the system. All work as designed.

A master volume control is of limited use given that I'm within arms reach of the volume dial on my speakers. Ideally I'd like to have that scrollwheel re-bound to control the volume on Spotify, without affecting the master volume.

This would save me Alt-Tabbing out of my games to tweak the balance between the game sounds and my music!

Does anyone know a means of achieving this? The Corsair software doesn't seem to have anything to allow this, I haven't spotted any options in Spotify or in Windows and Google doesn't bring me much of use.

 

Keyboard Shortcut For Volume Control

Hello Lenny,

To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
• Click OK

• What is the make and model of your computer?
• Are you using a laptop keyboard or external keyboard?

Adjusting the volume levels using the keyboard shortcuts depends if your device/keyboard supports media keys.

Meanwhile, let's try creating a shortcut key for the Master Volume. Refer to the steps below:

1. Right-click on an empty area on Desktop, then select
New and Shortcut.

2. Copy and paste the location below:

C:\\Windows\System32\SndVol.exe -T 76611119 0

3. Click on Next button and provide a name for the said Shortcut and click Finish.

4. Right-click on it and select Properties.

5. Assigned your desired shortcut key like F11 or F10 by just pressing it in the
Shortcut key area.

6. Click Apply and Click OK to save changes.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.
