Keyboard volume display [ Edited ]

[danlazenby]

Hi.

I'm not very computer savvy so bear with me.

I have a new HP Pavillion p7-1251 and a keyboard model: KU-1060.

When I use the volume control, the sound changes properly but I have no on screen display of the volume bar.

How do I display the volume level when pressing the buttons?

I don't have it, too, so I think it's not configured to do so.

Seems strange there wouldn't be a visual option.  And from what I've searched online, I think it has something to do with a program called "HP MediaSmart" but I've tried launching the program and also moving it to the Startup folder, but it makes no difference.

Please help.  Is there software needed to display the volume visuals when pressing the keyboard buttons?  My old HP keyboard did this, so there must be a way.
