Media Keys and Volume

1st April 2008, 00:22

Hello,

I'm using a Saitek Eclipse II keyboard, and I enabled the default media key support from the Winamp menu. My problem is that whenever I change the volume with the media keys, it simultaneously changes the Windows volume setting, and the Winamp setting. It does this whether or not Winamp currently has focus. As a result, it's pretty hard to control the volume of my music with the keyboard. I would prefer that the media keys only change the Windows volume. And my keyboard is not programmable.

Does anyone know of any way to get around this and still be able to use the other media keys?

Thanks!
