Windows 10: Volume increases slowly as I use keyboard

I have noticed that every 5 minutes or so while I am using my keyboard my windows volume overlay will appear and increase by 2.


If I don't use the keyboard it doesn't increase.


I've also noticed that it happens more when playing games probably as im using the keyboard more and when it does happen i get a mini pause/freeze in the game. Over time these seem to get worse - a windows restart resets this.


I have tried:

-Disabling all enhancements

-Un-ticking exclusive mode

-Disabling all audio devices except headphones I only use headphones

-Updating sound drivers manually


Any help would be appreciated.


Cheers,

:)

 

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...

 

Whats the Keyboard Shortcut to Adjust Volume?

Old thread appeared in searching for solutions how to set keyboard shortcuts to adjust Windows 10 volume. Dalchina's helpful pointers lead to finding yet another suitable up-to-date free app by grandmaster Nir Sofer : View / change sound volume on Windows 10/7/8/2008 from command-line or GUI

Step 1: Fire up SoundVolumeView and find your sound device by selecting (un)mute with right mouse
Step 2: Go to File menu> Create Desktop Shortcut> select Increase and select Decrease Volume 5%
Step 3: Right click each shortcut> Properties> Shortcut to set preferred hotkey. E.g. + and - on numpad
Step 4: Right click each shortcut again> Properties> General and tick Hidden - Apply - Ok

Voila! Hopefully helpful to someone sometime (Y)

 

Keyboard controls for Volume in Windows 10 DVD Player?

Hi,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• When you say Windows 10 DVD player, Exactly which app are you using to play the music?
• Are you getting any popup message when you trying to increase the volume from keyboard?

For every third party music apps there will be different keys to increase and decrease the volume.

Also, I suggest you to try using on screen keyboard and check if you are able to use the functionality of function key.

To open on screen keyboard, type on screen keyboard in the
search box on the taskbar and select on screen keyboard.
