Volume controls are still controlled via scan codes sent out by the EC. 
This means the behavior doesn't change at all.  The keycodes that come
via WMI are just to inform the OS (or more specifically an application
on the OS) of the volume change.

On the Windows side this WMI event is used to display a volume OSD from
a Dell utility called Quick Set.
