Windows 10: My keyboard doesn't have volume control. How can I change this as a shortcut on Windows 10?

Due to in and out hearing issues (long story), it's handy to have volume control on keyboard since I adjust it often.

My old keyboard finally died and I have to use one without a volume control button.

Is there a way I can bind volume up and down to a keyboard shortcut (e.g. shift + F1)? Any recommended third party software? The ones I saw kind of look shady so if anyone can vouch for one, I will use it.



Thanks!

Keyboard Shortcut For Volume Control

There is an information on how to create this shortcut posted here:

windows 10 audio volume keyboard shortcut - Google-Suche

The problem I have is that unlike in Linux such a shortcut isn't working unless Volume Mixer icon on the taskbar is clicked upon.

So volume slider pops-up, then this shortcut works. As a result: I still need to use a mouse.

Can you, please suggest a way to create a keyboard shortcut to control Windows 10 audio volume (not an application audio volume), which won't involve using a mouse?

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.

 

How can I find out which keyboard shortcuts I have got set up?

Hello

About a year ago I set up a keyboard shortcut to open a folder. I now want to change the shortcut, but I can't remember where I set up the keyboard shortcut (Control+Alt+Z)!

Fwiw, I'm thinking that I right-clicked on a shortcut to my folder and set up a "Shortcut key". Either that or I used a .BAT file??Either way, the trouble is that I can't now find where I set it up.

How can I find out where it is?
Does Windows have somewhere in the Registry listing shortcut keys?

Cheers
