I have a keyboard that has hotkeys for adjusting volume up and down, mute, play, pause, next track, etc. for media control. However, my mouse and keyboard are connected to a KVM and those key combinations no longer work when connected via the KVM. I've inquired with other owners of the same KVM and it seems that this is a problem only with the keyboard I am using.
So, anytime I want to adjust the volume I have to fiddle with the volume controls in Win 11.
Does anyone have a simple utility that they can suggest providing such basic functionality? Even if the only thing it provided was vol up / down / mute I would be happy.
