Really nothing???
Strrrrange...
It means that Windows doesn't mapped your buttonsto Virtual Keys table.
You cannot use jKey anyway, but try this:
litestep.bip.ru/download/scankey2.zip
and say, does it show real ScanCode or AppCommand Code (lines under VkCode)?
If it shows, there will be a new module this week...
If it doesn't show'em, this module will be released too, but it wouldn't help you :)

I have the same problem with my remote. It doesn't register the volume, mute or shutdown buttons. I'll give the scankey2 a go and let you know.
Is this by any chance for use with jkey??

nope...nothing shows up

Cool it worked for me
Volume Up =
VkCode: 000000AF
ApCode: 0000000A

Volume Down =
VkCode: 000000AE
ApCode: 00000009

so in my jKey conf file I added
VOLUP , AF
VOLDN , AE

and added hotkeys something similar to -

*jkey .none VOLUP !dosomethingherelikeplaywav
*jkey .none VOLDN !dosomethingherelikeplaywav

thanks inform-sega

do you have a special keyboard app or driver that loads with windows? if so, disable it, then try again.

how do u tell if there is?

Posted by member 5669 on 2004-02-13 23:17:27 link

well did you install any software for it?

Posted by member 25126 on 2004-02-14 02:21:31 link

check out 'keyboard' in control panel
did you try the values I suggested?
Volume up = AF
Volume down = AE

I'm lookjing for an app. that reports the current volume setting (i.e. volume=30%) in my journeys I'll have a look around for apps, similar to scankey2, as I'm building a PC to play movies, which will rely on mostly remote control keys.
If I find something I'll post it here.
...Good Luck!

jeez...wat is wrong with my keyboard...

Posted by member 37809 on 2004-02-17 22:59:29 link

I couldn't get HP multimedia keyboards (they also have volume knobs) to work in the past (scankey reported the same code for all), maybe I'll dig one up and try again.

Posted by member 105325 on 2004-02-18 21:50:24 link
