I few days ago I noticed that my Logitech G15 suddenly stopped controlling the volume on my Windows 7 x64 installation on my desktop. After a little research, I realized that the service responsible for media control functionality on keyboards had magically set itself to “Manual” instead of “Automatic” startup. Here’s how to fix the issue if you encounter it:
- Go to Start, and type in “services.msc”.
- Scroll down to “Human Interface Device Access”. Right click, go to properties.
- Change the Startup Type to Automatic, and click the “Start” button. Press OK and close the services manager.
- Try using your volume or media controls. All fixed!
Hope that helps someone out there. It was driving me nuts.
