    Why do my Function Keys don't work when playing some games?


    With that I don't mean F1-F9 don't work as assigned keys for the game controls, what I mean is that the alternate key functions volume controls, mute, brightess, etc. don't work in-game.For example, if i want to change the volume, normally i would press Fn+F3 and it works perfectly fine in the desktop and even in some games, however, some other games dont do anything at all, the volume stays the same and the window indicating the volume percent doesnt show up, this happens weather the game is set to fullscreen, windowed, or borderless, as long as it's focused, the alternate functions wo

    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...
