Qmk media keys in windows 10?

Learning and discussion Firmware, programming, and hardware compatability

Okay, I’ve never had issues with any of my boards running PS2AVR or bootmapper or TMK. But for some reason, I cannot get volume up, volume down or mute to work in QMK on windows 10. What am I doing wrong?

I’m using KC_VOLU, KC_VOLD, and KC_MUTE

Everything else on my keymaps work except for these.

Any idears?

And I’ve restarted my computer a handful of times, but that doesn’t do anything. I know in the past when windows stopped responding to media keys a restart would sometimes help. But in this case, I can connect my Alps64 board and volume controls work fine.

Also tried KC_AUDIO_VOL_UP, KC_AUDIO_VOL_DOWN, and KC_AUDIO_MUTE to no avail.

Got it!

EXTRAKEY_ENABLE = yes

was not declared in the make file. Added it and all works now.

Thank you for posting your solution! I hate when I find a thread and it ends with the OP saying “nvm, figured it out” and they never reply again :anger::triumph:

I only regret that I have but one like to give to your post

This was the LFKeyboards Hot Swap 65 board, by the way. In case anyone else comes across this issue. I might be the only person to ever have that PCB though, lol.

I don’t think I’ve even heard of it :thinking:

That would do it. :slight_smile:

Those keys require the “EXTRAKEY” thing to be enabled, to be able to send those keys.
Also, nice board. :slight_smile:
