   Thank you @asheenlevrai,

   I'll try to find time to work on this project as I have other ideas that I want to implement. 😄
   As for your question, here's a step by step :

   1. Install Karabiner Elements following this link : https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
      (There's a guide on the bottom of the page)
   2. Then, open the link from the readme on your browser. This should launch KE and show you this screen :
      
   3. Click on Import. This should take you to this screen :
      
   4. Now click on Enable All and you're done ! You can close KE and the volume/brightness keys should work

   Have a nice day,
   @the0neyouseek

   Thank you so much for the swift answer :)

   Unfortunately my problem is not solved. I don't know where my problem comes from. Let me explain:

   After installing MonitorControl and KarabinerElements I experienced the same issue as with other solutions like SoundSiphon and other forks of MC:

   • sound is intermittent (mostly off but then comes back for a second or two every now and then)
   • changing the volume using MC has no effect on the actual volume (when sound is actually audible). Brightness and contrast do work, though.
     In addition, I experienced the following (linked to KE, I guess):
   • Whenever pressing F1/F2 or F10-F12 while a desktop icon is selected, the corresponding slider moves in MC but the selected icon on the desktop also changes, suggesting that now these keys perform 2 different actions at the same time...

   I feel that since I experience the same problem with multiple apps, my problem could come from my audio driver (kext?) rather than the apps themselves. I run Sierra 10.12.6 that was patched for HDMI/DP audio using this script:
   https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/applehda-hdmi-audio-guide.234735/

   Let me know what you think about this.

   Thank you very much once again for your help.

   Bet,

   PS: my setup:
   asus z97-a
   i7-4790k
   GeForce GTX980
   Dell S2817Q monitor over DP (no line-in for audio)

   Hi @asheenlevrai,

   Here's what I can tell for the problems you mentionned :

   • Your sound issue come most certainly from your driver or an incompatible kext, MonitorControl uses @kfix/ddcctl to control brightness/volume so if your monitor is compatible with it it should be fine
   • For the shortcut issue with Karabiner Element, I'm aware of it and will try to fix it soon.

   Have a nice day !
