let the Keyboard Volume Buttons work again (PC, Windows)

By Trance

Hi there! Annoyed of Volume Keys on your Keyboard not working?

Follow this simple steps:

you need Autohotkey and http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html (donwload links at the very bottom - get same 32/64bit version as your Windows version)

install Autohotkey - this is a great tool, must have (it can "repair" many things in many games)
get nircmd and unpack in a folder of your choice

create a textfile and rename it like: TW2VolKeyFix.ahk or as you like
make sure you edit the File-Extension to .ahk (if extensions aren't shown, do this in file properties)

edit the file, or copy paste:

SetTitleMatchMode, 3 ; exact match, if you have another Window title (e.g. due to mods) then change this to 2 (partial match) or edit the title in the next line of code #IfWinActive, The Witcher 2 { Volume_Up:: Run "C:\folder\of\your\choice\nircmd.exe" changesysvolume +2048 Return Volume_Down:: Run "C:\folder\of\your\choice\nircmd.exe" changesysvolume -2048 Return Volume_Mute:: Run "C:\folder\of\your\choice\nircmd.exe" mutesysvolume 2 Return }

Notes:
System Volume ranges from 0 to 65535, you can edit the Value 2048 in the script as you like to make the VolumeSteps as big/small as you like

Have Fun!
