Brandy1123 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Bethesda in their finite wisdom to give us a PC - Counsole game, hard coded the key mapping. What that means is if you try and remap ithe input keys (some will) you will break the i/o flags and get no response from your selected input device/keys. SKSE dose have available alternate mapping, Just be sure to follow the SKSE direction on loading and activating it. There is a standard mod on Nexus that somewhat remaps some of the keys, but to get your media keys to funcion, I am not sure. If you can trap a macro program to the Skyrim window, its possible you can macro your keys active through it. I never tried this, it just popped into my head. I don't know if the hard coding will break when the macro activates or if your mouse x,y will lose sync with the game pointer.

Apprentice Harper Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have been using a little app called 3RVX.exe so I could use hotkeys to mute and change volume in Fallout 3.3RVX: stylish, hotkey-enabled volume control — freewaregenius.comUnfortunately this app does not work in Skyrim if Skyrim is in full-screen mode. Today I found a program that does let me change volume in Skyrim in full-screen mode.volume2 - Volume² - advanced Windows volume control - Google Project Hosting By using the screen edge feature I am able to change the volume in any ingame screen that shows the cursor. If I hit tab ingame and get the menu I can move the cursor to the screen edge I have chosen. The edge will change color and I can scroll up and down with the wheel to turn sounds up and down. Also a mouse option lets me hold ALT and left click to toggle mute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facetman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes this is a great idea. Games would be much better if the volume could be changed depending on the area= dungeon with no one around the volume gets turned up so you can hear water dripping or footsteps. IN a busy town- volume gets turned down so you only hear a loud sounds like a dragon. It would make the game more realistic as our own hearing sensitivity changes quickly on the ambient noise that surrounds us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Humans do effectively "turn up the volume" in quiet settings and, in effect, increase our auditory dynamic range naturally. Some of this happens while we play the game if we are in an environment that is free of ambient noises that would swamp the natural adaptation. But if the player is in an environment with even moderate noise some of the subtleties of the game environment may be lost. So an adjustable active emulation of auditory adaptation would be a nice entrancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
