This is the way to get it to work!
Getting the CineDash Media Console and Launch Buttons
working
If you have problems with either the CineDash Media Console
or Launch buttons then you will be happy to hear that the solution for fixing
these is easy!
The first thing that you will need to do is install the
“Launch Manager” which can be downloaded off the Acer website. Go to www.acer.com and click the service support, then
driver download. Go to your model. Download the Launch Manager here (hosted
here) or go to the acer site and find it there. The filename should be
“Kilimanjaro_v2.0.00_Vistax32×64_XPx32×64.zip” the version of Launch Manager
under the Windows Vista operating system .This will get the Email, Web and Empowering
Technology buttons working with their default settings. If you need to change
what the buttons do, you can launch the application named “Launch Manager” in
the start menu.
Uninstall any previous version of Launch Manager
The solution to my problem was to get the Launch Manager to
run in compatibility mode for Windows Vista Service Pack 2.
Unzip. Explore the new folder and right-click Setup.exe.
To do this go to the Launch Manager Install directory (C:\Program
Files\Launch Manager ), right-click on “setup.exe”, select the “troubleshoot compatibility”
tab, check the “Troubleshoot program” check box and then click “The program
worked in earlier versions of Windows but won’t install or run now”. Then
select “Windows Vista Service Pack 2”. Then click “Start” program. Now
everything should work properly! It will install. But don’t reboot yet!
Now locate and explore the freshly installed folder in your
program files directory – (probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager or
C:\Program Files\Launch Manager depending on if you are running 64-bit or
32-bit)
right-click on “LManager.exe”, select the “troubleshoot
compatibility” tab, check the “Troubleshoot program” check box and then click
“The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won’t install or run
now”. Then select “Windows Vista Service Pack 2”. Then click “Start” program.
Now everything should work properly! It will install.
Reboot and enjoy properly synced volume, and fully
functioning buttons.
I read somewhere else on a forum that getting your battery out for a few seconds and restarting would do the trick... guess what... it works!

It is for the Acer Aspire 6920.
my acer is one day old. I was very happy with the cinedash but suddenly it doesn't work anymore. The lights of the volume are still working and going up and down when I use my mousepointer to change the volume on my desktop but it doens't work directly.
