The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

Hello & welcome to the Forums! 🙂

I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

Thanks!! It totally worked, actually. I just set up a dual monitor arrangment and used an HDMI cable to my TV and mini display to my monitor but didn't hook up an audio cable. Once I connected the audio, the keyboard volume buttons work! Thanks again. This has been driving me crazy for weeks.

It does work without Spark, but now I have another issue. The keyboard volume controls only work with my monitor, which is connected via an audio cable to the headphone jack in the back of my mini. The keyboard volume buttons do not work through the HDMI cable connected to my TV. This is a small issue since I can use my TV remote to control that volume; HOWEVER; when I have the audio cable connected to the headphone jack on the back of my mini, I can not switch to the HDMI audio out in System Preferences (like if I want to watch Netflix on my big screen). Do you know of a way that I can choose audio through the HDMI cable without having to physically unplug the audio cable connected to the headphone jack? Should I create another discussion for this issue?

Thanks again. I really appreciate your input and help. I'm such a newbie, it's embarrassing.

Ok, BDAqua, I think I tackled most of this issue myself. I used the Audio Midi Setup in the Utilities folder and created a Multi-Output Device which allows me to listen to the TV speakers through the HDMI connection (I have to mute the monitor sound to avoid interference). Now the only remaining issue between me and my ideal set up is to be able to control the TV volume with the keyboard volume keys when I am watching through the HDMI cable. If you know of a solution, send it my way. But for now, I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made today.

Thanks again for everything!
