    The volume up/down and mute buttons work fine, but the play/pause, next/previous track and stop buttons arent working. The lights still show when i press the buttons, but they aren't functioning.

    I've tried downloading/reinstalling quickset, and it did nothing.

    I cant find a driver for them on my system, or online :(.

    Anyone help would be greatly appreciated.

    umm yep the eject button does work

    i'm pretty certain that its a software/driver issue

    i have a microsoft keyboard that has contros on it, and the volume ones work fine, but not the play/pause etc

    could it be a windows problem?

    EDIT: I've found the problem, it was with mediamonkey

    now i feel stupid :(
