This raises a whole new point that I'd never thought to mention before! I have been getting volume control on my TPads, along with [supposedly] and indication of the setup for the display device by using: "On Screen Display utility for most Thinkpad laptops" It works off of the blue ThinkVantage button and the normal volume control buttons. I used it regularly with my A30p. Of course, it never worked on the T60 until the recent advances in UniAud. The only function that really seems to work now is the volume control. But, it does work!
