Multimedia Keys

I got a Logitech G610 and a Corsair VOID USB that both got media keys on.(VOID only got volume control I think) but what I need help with is: is it possible to make it so the volume controller on my G610 dosn't affect system volume only volume on media players? And my VOID volume controller only affect system volume and not media players volume?

 

I'm on window 10 if that helps.

On defualt not really, most of media players have other specific key shortcuts to adjust media player volume. VLC has some 100% and other should have too. 

You can maybe with the included software program those audio keys to press these specific shortcuts so it changed only volume inside the media player.

Those keyboards are using the system API to change the volume, which means it changes the system volume. I don't think media players themselves use the API for volume, only for media keys.

 

In theory you could try re-mapping the keys to run Windows shell commands like adjusting the volume of separate devices under the "Volume mixer" but that would require a good amount of knowledge and effort on your part. That, or reverse engineer each and every player you use which is even harder.... Look for actual shortcuts inside the software you use, most will have them. If for example, Player X has "ctrl+p" for play/pause, you could use that or remap your keyboard to send that keystroke once you press your media key. Though many won't let you re-map media keys.

i think the keyboard should have its own software where he might be able to remap it without much problems, when it comes to the headphones that would require to do all the things you said
