x15 R2, mute key does not work

Hello,

For several weeks now, my mute key on the keyboard does not work anymore. 

- It does not change to white if pressed

- Microphone is not muted if mute button is pressed

Does anybody have an idea, how to solve this?

Hi @crimsom,

thanks for the tip. I already found the problem. The Windows service "Realtek Audio Universal Service" was not configured to start automatically.

Now it works again.

Hi @pdchristian welcome to this free user-to-user Alienware laptop discussion forum. 

Please try toggling Multimedia Keys to Function Keys.

old post, i've the same problem with x16r2 rtx4080, solved with this way;

-reinstall/repair alienware command center

-reinstall realtek audio driver

-reboot several times

-works.

i think AWCC is the matter, i don't know why but anyway finally works, but allow to give 1-5min after the win boot then the key is working, maybe the feature is under the windows services, the oem softwares are always flimsy, need to wait after the booting.
