I own a Corsair K100 RGB keyboard with a volume scroll wheel. It functions well for gaming when I press alt+tab, but it doesn’t respond during gameplay unless I do that. Is this the expected behavior? Are you restricted from adjusting volume while playing Steam games? THIS issue appears mainly in Resident Evil titles.

It seems your keyboard has a sound control feature, but it doesn’t respond much. Are there alternative buttons or settings on your device that you could explore instead of the scroll wheel?

I agree. The game has two types of volume settings—one for in-game audio and another for overall monitoring. The wheel adjusts the game sound, while the scroll wheel controls the monitor volume.

That's something I observed too. Some titles allow volume adjustments, others don’t, and some even display a small volume control bar while others don’t—especially when full screen is on. It’s definitely one of those frustrating inconsistencies across Steam games. (Not sure if other platforms or DRM systems handle it better) I’m going to look into Re3 right now… EDIT: Yeah, Re3 is definitely one of those games that won’t let you change the volume at all… I swear I found a setting, but I can’t figure it out. Maybe it’s just Windows being Windows… I think we’re talking about the keyboard-controlled volume, not the game’s in-game level. I really believe this has changed in the past year or so—before this issue popped up, most games worked fine, including controls and sound. It seems like either Steam or Windows is responsible for this change.)
