I see you have already marked your post as resolved, but because people often come across this forum via Google I will still mention a solution..

 

Using AutoHotKey you can remap your buttons to various effects.

I will try to whip up some code that does this in a minute, for completion sake.

 

EDIT:

Here is how to do this with AutoHotKey:

 

Code:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

; When you press Numpad plus
NumpadAdd::
	SoundSet, +5
Return

; When you press Numpad minus
NumpadSub::
	SoundSet, -5
Return

(Edit the -5/+5 if you want smaller/larger volume steps)

 

To run this code, simply:

- Install AutoHotKey

- Right click > New > AutoHotKey Script

- Paste the code

- Save as (just give it a name and the .ahk extension):

- Right click on the file and press 'compile script'

- Run the script and possibly add a shortcut it to your startup folder, so it opens automagically once you start your computer

 

EDIT2:

I just realized people might want a mute button too. That's quite easy to add, just add this to the script:

; When you press Numpad Del/Dot
NumpadDot::
	SoundSet, -100
Return
