Can anyone please help me to the commands for volume up and down (one step)?
I purchased a new laptop, witch doesn't have a volume control buttom. Still
some free buttons to assign though ...
 
From XP HELP:
To change the system sound volume
1. Open Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel.
2. On the Volume tab, under Device volume, drag the slider right or left to
increase or to decrease the system volume.

Notes
* To open Sounds and Audio Devices, click Start, point to Settings, click
Control Panel, and then double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.
* To mute sound volume, select the Mute check box; to restore the sounds,
clear the Mute check box.
* If you select the Place volume icon in the taskbar notification area check
box and your sound card volume can be changed using software, a speaker icon
appears in the notification area. You can change the volume by clicking the
icon and adjusting the slider.
* The Device volume slider on the Volume tab is linked to the volume slider
in the Volume Control dialog box. Changing the system volume on the Volume
tab also changes it in Volume Control, and vice versa.

Thanks Wesley,

I know how to increase or decrease my sound, that is not the question here.

I want to assign free keys on my keyboard; one for sound up, the other for
sound down. To which command should I refer then.

Cheers, M

There should already be some key combinations for increasing
and decreasing the sound volume. Usually, they work using the
combination of Cntrl + Function and probably the + (plus) and
the - (minus) keys. Read the manual. No need to map your own.

Most newer laptops have keys already assigned for Volume Up, Volume
Down, and Mute and they are marked. My Dell laptop is marked in blue and
the keys work with a special blue function key. I can also control the
screen brightness with such keys.
If you are running Windows Media Player, F10 is volume up, F9 is volume
down, and F8 is mute. Other audio programs may assign other keys.

If you want to work at it, then it is perfectly OK. Just
how good are your programming skills in Visual Basic (or
whatever programming language that Windows XP uses)?
