HI Folks
i recently put a new SSD in my Asus N55SF and put Winows 10 Home on it. i have done all the updates and running 1909.
However there are some volume control keys on left of the keyboard and i cant get them to work. Has anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
many thanks

Hi, assuming you clean installed Win 10 (did you- or did you clone or otherwise transfer your previous O/S to the SSD?) then you may need an ASUS utility to support those keys.
Have a look at the driver page for your PC.
Otherwise there are various ways of arranging volume control by keyboard or by using the scroll wheel or both.

It was a clean install of windows . the picture at the bottom is what i have. be handy to have them working but nothing i do makes them
From the link I provided, you need (it seems) an ATK driver from ASUS. Most likely it will be for an older O/S so may have to be installed in compatibility mode. Will it work? Don't know.
Do you have the original driver CD?
Have you [as dalchina suggested] checked the Asus drivers/downloads page for your model to find the latest keyboard utility they provide?
Such dedicated keys are always only controllable using a utility from the computer maker so that really is your only chance of success.
On one very old Dell computer that I updated to Windows 10, I used the keyboard utility {"Dell QuickSet"} that they had released for WinXP in 2008 and found that it controlled the keys correctly even in WIndows 10.

Here's the Win 10 version - whether it's applicable to an old device is another matter.

Hey guys
