Any way to adjust FN Volume increments?

Since many of you seem to be quite good with computers, I was wondering if anyone here could help me out with laptop troubles. I've tried Googling this problem, but nothing came up. I also tried Yahoo answers and no one has been able to help so far...

My laptop uses the FN key +F11/F12 to lower and raise volume. However, each time I raise or lower the volume it skips over a fairly large increment and often leaves the volume too loud or too soft. I was wondering if there is any way to adjust the amount that volume is increased/decreased each time I use the FN volume buttons. I'd rather not have to exit out of full screen programs and have to adjust the volume on the tray each time.

FN + Up Arrow / Down Arrow?

Doesn't work on my laptop unfortunately. Those are stop/play.

Sorry, I got the idea from a past laptop I had.

It depends on whatever crapware installed on your laptop is controlling the volume keys. And chances are, they won't let you configure it since it's so poorly engineered.

Boo. I was afraid of that...Apparently it's the ASUS ATK_Hotkey Utility that controls the function buttons. But as you said, I don't think there's any way to easily edit them. *cries*

I suppose you could always disable or gut the utility from your system and install a different one in its place. After all, the volume keys generate consistent scancodes across keyboards (to my knowledge), so a generic utility is probably what you need.

Or I suppose you could manually do a global key bind, but I'm not sure how you'd do it in Windows.
