No Sound. Speaker "on" "off" button not functioning

 I have an HP Pavillion Laptop which was purchased in the last 9 months. Don't know what kind of sound board is installed.  Running Windows 8. Upgraded to Windows 8.1 last week and now I don't have any sound. When I press the Speaker "On/Off" button nothing happens; it doesn't even light. Can anyone tell me what happened and how to fix?

Hi Nana-Carol. It is most likely a driver issue, since it started after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. It is possible that HP has drivers for Windows 8.1. What is the model number of your notebook?

  • Is the on/off button bad function a hardware problem? What can I do if a mobile company don't fix this? Besides, my phone still have the apple warranty

    Hello everyone, I bought an iPhone 5 six months ago from a mobile company. now the on/off button is not working properly. I send it to this company technical service support and they didn’t fix it saying that the button problems are not covered by the warranty; moreover they say that warranty just covers software and hardware problems. First, is the on/off button bad function a hardware problem? What can I do if a mobile company don’t fix this? Besides, my phone still have the apple warranty

  • Mavericks update, MacBook Pro, short cut buttons not functioning to

    After recently installing the OSX mavericks 10.9.3 the shortcut buttons at the top of my keyboard are either not working or are not functioning with the correct button. I checked through the system preferences and found nothing to help me. What can I do to get the short cut buttons to work?

    Did you try syst prefes/keyboard restore defailts?
    Try SMC reset;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow a bttery you should not remove yourself
    PRAM reset:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Try a sfe boot:
    Power off, power on holding the SHIFT key, continue to hold till you see the progress BAR, then release and allow to finish booting (this will take longer than a regular boot) after it boots shut down and boot normal.

  • How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

    Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

    The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
    When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

  • Google Maps buttons not functioning

    Google Maps does not function anymore in Safari. None of the buttons work, including the search button (I can type in an address, but nothing happens when I press the mag. glass icon, or return), or any of the smaller icons in the corner including zoom in/out, help, tools etc.
    Works just fine using Firefox, and I did update Flash to the latest version.
    Any help appreciated--thanks in advance.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Power button not functioning

    My power button doesn't respond whenever I click it. Instead, the volume up button does so.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Are there not any reaction at all if you press and/or hold the ON/OFF button down? If not, it sounds more related to a hardware problem that a technician at an authorized service center needs to examine and fix.
    Thereby, I suggest that you visit nearest service center to have the phone examined by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Power off button not responding

    Power off switch not responding... Help!

    Try to reset the device (try it even though as you said the power button (or sleep/wake switch) is not functioning)
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    If the switch is indeed physically bad, you can get by in the meantime (or until you can get it evaluated/fixed) by using the the AssistiveTouch panel (this floats a virtual button on the screen that you can use to access various funtions of the iPad, one of them being the sleep/wake switch). I use this all the time, even though my buttons are just fine (cuts down on wear/tear on the physical buttons).

  • Lock Button Not Function

    hi there, I'm Wilfred, currently my ipad is having a problem which the lock button is not function. Thus it's caused me unable to screen lock my ipad in a proper manners. May I know is there any solution to overcome this issue? Thanks.

    The side switch is the key.  Depending on your settings, it may affect the mute or it may affect the rotation lock.  Whichever function it supports, the other function is performed by a "soft switch."  This support article from Apple provides detail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    In case you're wondering, here is the history.  Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere.  In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch.  This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices.  Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential.  In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • IPhone 5 turn off button not working properly, is it a hardware defect?

    My iPhone 5 (1year and 4 months) has trouble with its turn off button, I've heard of other friends with same issue, is it a hardware defect?

    Things just break. The IPhone buttons are basically a thin plastic sticker with a thin flexible metal lining. The simple sticker slips (slides) out of place just a hair (far less than mm) and the alignment of the metal lining cannot make connection, so button does not function correctly. Things just break.

  • On/off button not working on brand new iPod touch 5th gen

    My daughter has just unboxed a brand new iPod touch 5th gen that arrived today.
    It wouldn't turn on so I assumed the battery was flat which I thought was odd but I plugged it in and it came on - 90% + battery.
    The on/off button does not do anything. We've pressed it, held it - nothing. If I press the on/off and the home button together, Siri starts.
    It will only switch off after a minute has elapsed. We can't do it manually.
    What's going on? Any ideas?

    If you have an Apple store nearby I would make an appointment at their Genius Bar.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise I would call Apple. You get at least 90 days of free telephone support.
