Newer ThinkPads without hardware volume controls

Hi

As soon as I received my new T510 I noticed that the volume buttons were now linked to the Windows volume rather than the hardware sound card volume, as it had been on my R50e, R60, T41, etc. I came across this thread: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 17&start=0 ... does anyone know whether installing an old driver as described in the thread would work for the T510 and other newer ThinkPads? If so, which older driver could work on the T510... T60 drivers?

Thanks!

Anyone tried it? Is it even possible?

Thinkpads past (not including) the T60 series lack the embedded hardware controller for volume. So no can do.

Oh I see...well, that's a shame. Guess I'll have to get used to this.

Thanks for the reply!
