iTunes to Airplay - volume control on keyboard doesn't work

Hello,

When I stream iTunes music to my Denon receiver with Airplay, the volume cannot be controlled with the volume buttons on my Logitech keyboard. I need to activate the iTunes application and use CTRL-Up instead. My OS is Windows 10.

Is there a way to use the volume buttons on my Logitech keyboard (so that I don't have to switch to iTunes to control the volume)?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm on a Mac, and there is a way to have the system output (of everything) go to an Airplay zone by selecting it in sound preferences as the output (or menu bar). If I just select it in iTunes, I have to use the Opt+ up or down key as you mentioned - it won't work on the volume up/down keys on the Mac. I'm not sure if you have a way to change your audio output for the system out to that Airplay speaker, but thats what I had to do on the Mac to get the volume up/down keys on my keyboard to work.
