ANSWER 1

Score 5

You can perform "key rebinding" on Windows for any keyboard using AutoHotKey. Here are some examples (from my AutoHotKey startup configuration) that show how to control the sound card:

 #z::Send,{VOLUME_MUTE}
 #=::SoundSet,+5
 #-::SoundEet,-5
 Capslock::Send,{MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE}

('#' means the Windows Key, you can also specify any combination of control, shift, and alt keys).

It looks like you're going to need some additional software to do this for you. There's some excellent links here and here.

In particular:

NirCmd is an application that changes the volume and more.

Example of use:

* Increase the system volume by 2000 units (out of 65535)
nircmd.exe changesysvolume 2000

* Decrease the system volume by 5000 units (out of 65535)
nircmd.exe changesysvolume -5000

* Set the volume to the highest value
nircmd.exe setsysvolume 65535

Another third party option for fine volume control, volumouse (also from Nirsoft)
