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...

 

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I guess so... because in every other game I play, the keyboard volume hotkeys work... whereas in metro last light, pressing those keys does nothing. I did not switch Keyboard profiles or game profiles...

It's most likely the game that is somehow locking those features... I also have a CM storm mouse with volume controlled mapped to certain mouse buttons, and them too won't work in metro last light... but they do in every other game... weird...

 

Volume buttons won't work

Hello Aaron,

• Are you referring to the volume key on the keyboard?
• What is the make and model of the laptop?
• Have you installed all the latest drivers?

If not I suggest you to go to the manufacturer website and install the latest keyboard drivers and check if that helps, post that suggest you to run the hardware troubleshooter and check for the issue.
