Changing media control button sounds

Good morning!  I just picked up a P505-S8980, and it is fantastic.  The sound made when a media control button is pressed, however, is awful, and I would like to change it.  I can't find it listed under the general sound controls - anyone know how I can do this?
Much thanks!

The sound for the media pad can be turned off in the system bios

  • Media Control Button Problem

    I can't turn on my wifi because the Media Control button for that function now starts my Windows Media Player instead.  This was not  problem until today.  The only change made yesterday was to download and install TouchPad drivers.  Any suggestions?
    Solved!

    Try reinstalling TVAP.

  • Re: Satellite A305-S6872 media control buttons driver?

    Ok, so I just got this laptop on Sunday.
    It has the media control buttons on it, but they won't work.
    I've read a few posts about it, saying that I need to download the Control driver..
    Well, I spent hours last night looking for it. :\
    Anyone have the direct link to it?

    Hallo Kitsune
    Try to reinstall Value added Package. You can download it from Toshiba support page. If you have US notebook model please visit http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp
    Hallo Glead
    In users manuals is described that this button is not for 2 functions but just for one. Either for MUTE or for enabling/disabling the LEDs. I have Satellite A300 too and this button is for disabling LEDs only.
    Have a look into this symbol and you will see it is not speaker but symbol for light.
    Compare it with symbol on ESC button and you will see it is not the same.

  • Media control button isn't ON - Satellite P305D-S8828

    I reformat my laptop and didn't save the drivers (boohoo!).
    I can't use the touchpad and tried installing both Alps and Synaptic but neither works.
    Another problem is that the Media Control Buttons (located beside the Power Button) are not lit.
    I use the Media Buttons yesterday but when I turn the laptop on today, it wasn't lit.
    Please help! I don' know what to do anymore...

    Hi
    You could try to setup the multimedia button using the TOSHIBA Button Support.
    The application in +Program Files\Toshiba\TBS\Backlight.exe+ controls the illumination

  • Dell Vostro and iTunes [+media control buttons]

    Hi everybody!
    Well, I have a Dell Vostro 1310 laptop.
    It has media control buttons, as you can see in these images:
    http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0388ha4.jpg
    http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0389iu3.jpg
    http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0390ep2.jpg
    The fact is: the control buttons work properly IF, and only IF, iTunes is the active window.
    If it is not, they simply don't work.
    Is there anything I can do to solve it?

    Hi espectral,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I'm fairly sure you'd need dedicated software to interface with the keyboard and iTunes, most often 'media' keys only work by coicidence. Therefore, you'd need software from Dell (or other 3rd party software to link iTunes to the keyboard.)
    I don't think Dell specifically support Apple Software, but I know some other brands like Logitech do.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q870 power button unresponsi​ve but laptop powers up using media control button

    Well this is perplexing, I could really use some help.
    My power button on my Qosmio X505-Q870 is completely unresponsive. I've tried holding it for 30 seconds, but to no avail. I removed the battery & replaced the battery, testing the power button by pressing it for 30 seconds or rapidly pressing it - makes no difference whatsoever.  But then, I noticed if I touch the media touch button, the computer powers up! (And opens up Windows Media Player) Very stealthy...
    Now when the laptop is already powered up, pressing the media button does not turn it off. It only opens Windows Media Player.
    Here is some background info that may or may not be helpful:
    1 1/2 years ago:
    RAM was upgraded to 8 MB
    I replaced the HDD with a SSD, and then installed the HDD into the 2nd bay.
    Computer has been running fine since these changes, aside from running hot when gaming.
    2 days ago:
    I upgraded the SSD to a larger drive.
    Then, I disassembled the laptop with the intent to apply some thermal compound and clean the fans to address the temperature issues.  I could not complete this task because 2 screws were stripped and I couldn't get the cover off, afterall.
    I did not swap any connections, but did notice one seemed a bit loose after carefully lifting up the keyboard so I gently eased it back in to place.
    I put the laptop back together, and that is when the power button and media center button issue began. So it must be a result of either opening the case or upgrading the SSD.
    Any thoughts on what could be causing this to happen?
    And if anyone has a trick to remove stripped screws without taking a drill to my laptop - I'd love to hear your ideas. Thanks!!

    Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (version 3.4.3-1) and my laptop has not freezed since then. So, maybe I will wait for a couple of days and hopefully mark this as solved.

  • Satellite P300-19P: Media Control buttons need to be pressed many times

    Hi all, I'm a newbie to this forum, but I do love my Toshiba products!
    I recently got a P300 19P and the touch sensitive media buttons at the top (mute, open media player, play/pause, stop, previous, next) buttons DO work, but only when i tap them something like 20 to 30 times repeatedly. Sometimes they work in just 5 or 6 taps, sometimes, it takes more like 50. What is going on here?
    I would have thought it was something to do with windows media player having a lot of songs (only about a thousand to be honest), but that wouldn't explain the mute buttong being irresponsive.
    (Windows Vista 32 bit home premium)
    The LEDs all work fine though.... :-(

    I will do that just now. Although at first, the first button on the far left was for muting the sound.
    When the buttons were fully functional when I first bought it, it was a mute button. It has suddenly changed its function now. Is there any way of configuring the function of those buttons?
    And I do touch them gently.
    I just went into C:\Toshiba\Drivers\ValueAddedPackage and opened a file called ButtonSetting. I found this. (Note, I have not edited the text at all, and will not do so either unless advised otherwise).

  • Media Player with control buttons inc. full screen

    Hi
    I am trying to add a media player on an html page - insert > media > flash, file.swf.
    This looks good when uploaded, but I'd like to have the control buttons show up, (ie. stop, replay, backwards, forwards, full screen)
    The video also looks to be 54 minutes long, I suppose it is as the 2 minute video continually repeats.  Can this be changed too?
    Can anyone please help?

I recently connected a new Microsoft keyboard to my mac mini, and when I change the command and control button the same way I did before, it has no affect. The command and control keys have their default action. Is there a way to over ride this?

  • Windows 7 RTM drivers for sound control buttons and quick launch buttons on TX2

    In the past two days this forum has helped me find several drivers for the TX2-1027CA tablet. Now I'd like to try to get two more - and I expect this will be more difficult to find, but here goes....
    Is there a driver for the sound buttons (sound down, sound up, and mute) on the body of the tablet? Currently, with no driver, it has no effect to push them.
    Is there a driver for the quick launch buttons (mediasmart, screen orientation, and so on) on the screen of the tablet? Pushing these also has no effect. Even better would be drivers that allow me to assign my own program choices, but I'll settle for the basic original functions.
    Looking forward to any links as this software appears!

    Hi Daniel. You seem to know what you're talking about, so perhaps you can help me.  I bought my Pavilion dv7-1260us a mere 5 weeks before HP began offering its Windows 7 upgrade offer. Consequently, I had to purchase a retail version to upgrade. Now, I cannot reinstall the original programs and features my laptop came with (specifically, the MediaSmart soft-touch button above my keyboard will not work, and I've lost the Cyberlink DVD Suite 6 program entirely).
    Do you happen to know how I may reinstall the Cyberlink DVD Suite 6 program and get my MediaSmart soft-touch key to work again? No one at HP Customer Care (including their Case Managers) can help. When I contacted Cyberlink, they told me I had to contact HP (vicious circle there), OR I have to purchase the program ($120 I don't have).  I bought my laptop for school, and had to upgrade to Windows 7 because Vista Home Premium kept crashing (usually right in the middle of an online exam).
    I would really like to have ALL of the programs and features working properly, but HP Customer Care will not help me unless I revert back to the unstable Vista Home Premium.
    I greatly appreciate your assistance and hope you have a solution for me.
    Sincerely,

  • Media controls not working on my MacBook Air

    Hello everybody,
    I purchased my Macbook Air 11" almost two years ago and after updating it to I think it was leopard at the time, my media controls stopped working for iTunes. I didn't think much of it since I barely used those keys but after I wanted to use it more and they still don't. 
    I am currently running Yosemite 10.10.1
    If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

    Hello adil523,
    It sounds like your Function buttons aren't usable to control your iTunes playback on your computer. From what you describe it seems that you should be able to toggle this funciton in your System Preferences for your keyboard:
    How to change the behavior of function keys on your Mac
    By default, pressing one of these keys performs the special feature indicated by the icon printed on the key. For example, pressing the keys with speaker icons adjusts the volume.  If you want to use one of these keys as a standard function key, hold the Fn key (usually in the lower left corner of the keyboard) while pressing the function key. Pressing Fn-F10 (speaker icon) performs the function assigned to the F10 key instead of toggling mute on or off.
    If you prefer the top row of keys to always behave as standard function keys without holding the Fn key:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    From the View menu, choose Keyboard.
    Click the Keyboard tab if it is not already selected
    Enable "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."
    With this option enabled, the top row of keys acts as standard function keys (F1 - F12). To use a feature indicated by the icon printed on a key, hold Fn while pressing the key.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Qosmio G40: Vista Ultimate - Control buttons don't work properly

    Hello friends,
    I have a Qosmio G40 for a few months and everything is working well till now.
    The problem is related to the front operation panel.
    If i am using Windows Media Player, the buttons PLAY/STOP/PAUSE/FORWARD/BACKWARD work well, but if i try to use (in any case) the other buttons like REC or TURN LEDS ON or DOLBY, the button makes the usual sound but nothing happens, doesn't open any program that is supposed to open.
    Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening. I've been trying to look for any configuration software of these buttons but can't seem to find any.
    My system is Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Best Regards,

    Hi
    The Toshiba European driver page provides the AV Controller Manager.
    This tool allows you to customize and preset TOSHIBA AV Control button settings.
    Maybe you should install this tool and should check it again.
    Additionally it would be advisable to reinstall the VAP
