Hi Alex. I am not sure about virtual box. I wasn't able to use it when i tried it last, i use vmware fusion. I will try this today however. The volume control, i think within windows 7, just change the volume slider with in windows. It still will be a little lower however. Under the preferences in virtual box, you should see mac host shortcuts. Disable these and your f keys should work as well.
