IT WORKS!!! :D but 1 question, how do you get it to show you how much high or low the volume is? Like at 1:20 and sorry for my bad english

@brutaka359 It's the Microsoft Intellitype software that's doing it. I've looked around a little but didn't find other software to do it, but I'm sure it's out there.

Try ^!h::Send {volume_mute} instead. Alt-H is going to conflict with internal application shortcuts.

Call me stupid, but I can't get this to work in W7 (Creative X-Fi soundcard)

Using a simple script like the one below achieves nothing:

!h::Send {volume_mute}
