GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 (rev. 1.0)

So I installed windows 7 and I am unable to get my Media Keys and Volume Control to work on my G11 and someone told me I should update my bios because Windows 7 "demands" proper bios for support.

Now personally I don't think this is the problem but I want to make sure so I ask here.

I current use the first revision with F3 BIOS.

Link to my BIOS
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - BIOS - GA-EP45-UD3R (rev. 1.0)

Do any of these newer bios actually do ANYTHING to help me on this issue? He also told me that there is a tool to update the bios from Windows to remove any risk of bricking my board while updating the bios.

I have never heard of this and I flash my bios the normal cd/flash drive method.

Thank you.

Well thank you for the help but I found the fix and here it is.

Go to Start, and type in “services.msc”.
Scroll down to “Human Interface Device Access”. Right click, go to properties.
Change the Startup Type to Automatic, and click the “Start” button. Press OK and close the services manager.
Try using your volume or media controls. All fixed!

Special thanks to the guy I stole this from biggardr @ MS forums.
