Apple Earbuds with remote mic/volume functions not working in Windows

So this is somewhat of a strange one. My new Macbook Pro early 2011 with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro with all latest updates (including the recent firmware and bootcamp releases) doesn't seem to see my Apple Earbuds with remote as a microphone and the volume commands from the earbuds do nothing. However this works fine under OSX and used to work with my mid 2009 MBP. Anyone else seeing this and does anyone know a way to solve this problem?

I'm having the same problem here. Did you find a solution?

  • I have had a iPod touch 4 on iOS 5.0.1 32gb and whenever I plug my apple earbuds with remote and mic the  /- buttons don't work

    I don't know why but the remote volume buttons wont work on my iPod. When I got it it was on running on  4.3.4 an it worked perfect but no it wont. Please help

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a sftware problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • SL510 volume buttons not working on windows 8 64

    I have updated my SL510(2847-7LG) to Windows 8 64Bit.
    - HotKeyFeatures 3.84.2000
    - Human Interface Device Access Service is running
    Sadly if I press the mute Button nothing happened.
    the volume Buttons working well.
    So I found the following behavior:
    If I press the Mute Button and then one of the volume Buttons(increase/decrease) the System will be Muted.
    But the Mute Button itself doesn't work.
    I tryed reinstall the Hotkeyfeatures several times but the Problem persists.
    Would be great if someone could help me fixing this Issue.
    Thanks in advance,

    I have the same issue with SL500 ..Although link readme says the driver is meant for win 8 64 bit, it fails to install.  "This program does not support this system" - it is what I get when running the setup.

  • Activesync not working for Windows Phone with certificate

    We have a new Exchange Server 2013 setup and using activesync.  We have setup a policy to require simple password and to send an email to provision a device when it connects.  Activesync is setup to use self signed certificates,  this was
    tested first on the Ipad.  Certificate installed entered the settings and the device appeared in the quarantined devices list awaiting to be approved.  This was also done on the Iphone and worked. 
    When putting the same certificate on the windows phone device it errored with there is a problem with {as.domain-name.net} and does not appear in quarantined devices screen.
    I tested again with another Ipad and an android device and they work without an issue.  Tested with a Windows RT device and got the same issue.  If I look in the IIS log files I can see the windows device making a connection then when I presume
    to be the error 500 at the end of the line. 
    This is not a user issue as I can use the same user on the various devices.  The windows devices just do not want to connect.  We have looked at the certificate but if it works for apple and android devices why does it not work for windows? 
    Is there any additional security settings that need to be turned on or off for windows phones?  Is there something specific on the certificate what windows devices need that others ignore?

    I did inital think it might be a widows phone issue but there are no other settings for me to use.  I have also tested using a windows 8 surface and I get the same issue.
    I have raised the event log level on the exchange server to expert and I have seen 2 messages when I try to connect. 
    I get Event ID 1100:  Exhcnage ActiveSync device requests for your uses are being blocked.  This problme frequently occurs when HTTP OPTIONS method is not allowed.
    I know it is allowed as the test exchange connectivity worked and passed that test.
    The other error Event ID 1309 ASP.NET warning.  Part of the exception messge is DeviceTypeMissingOrInvalid
    I have come across a comment that says for certificates to work you need to use windows intune or SCCM which we don't have.  Do we know if this is true? 

  • Earbuds with Mic and Skip Functions not working after IOS 6.0.1 update?

    I have earbuds with a mic and skip buttons functions and noticed  that mic and the skip music functions stop working after updating to  IOS 6.0.1.

    Phone restart > if that doesn't work then do a reset of the settings. Full restore would be the last option.

  • Using Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic on my Macbook

    Is it possible to use the remote to control volume on my macbook? I know the mic works but I can't get the remote to. Is it even possible to use the remote?

    I have a unibody Macbook with OSX 10.6.1 and it works with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic. However, whenever I plug them in to the Macbook it takes up to 10 seconds for the volume and tracking controls to start working on the earphone remote. Also, if there is music playing in iTunes, the audio drops out for about the same amount of time. The hardware buttons on the Macbook also stop functioning during this time. The same behavior occurs when unplugging the earphones.
    Basically, it seems like the Macbook is extremely slow when adding / removing the earphones as an audio control device.
    Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Thanks!

    Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

  • Earphones with Mic volume doesn't work

    I was playing with the iPhone 3GS at Best Buy with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic and I wasn't able to adjust the volume with the earphones. It does work however with the Nano, so what's the dealio? Does that function not work with the iPhone?

  • How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

    I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

    I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

  • Trouble-shooting no sound through the right side of Apple earphones with remote...

    Hope this story of trouble-shooting this problem helps someone in the future.
    For some strange reason, when I listened to a podcast using the Music app through the Apple earphones with remote on my iPhone 4, the right side has no sound.  However, when I pull the earphone plug out one notch, I get sound from both sides, but the remote controls no longer work.  At that point, I was sure I had a hardware problem, but where it lay-- earphones or iPhone 4, I didn't know.
    1.  For my first step, I tried the earphones with another iPhone 4, and got the exact same results.  That convinced me that it was a problem with the earphones, but then I tried them on our iPad and they worked fine!
    2.  That ruled out the earphones and got me wondering if both iPhone 4's earphone jacks were flakey or misbehaving.  I had read about the old fuzz in the jack problem, so I used an air blower to clean it out, but it made no difference.  I still figured that maybe both jacks were stressed in some way, although two of them?
    3.  Then I read that some people found different apps worked--and even specifically that running Skype could solve things.  That didn't work.  However, it led me to try various streaming apps (e.g., Portal to the Universe, NPR) and everything was fine-- sound from both sides and remote controls fully functional.
    At that point, I was convinced there was something odd going on with the Music app.
    4.  Finally, it occurred to me to try other podcasts-- and even other episodes of the particular podcast.  They all worked fine.
    So, it ended up being one particular podcast-- and, while I still do not know why, it means that the earphones, the headphone jack, the iPhones are all in fine shape!  Yay!
    In any event, the bottom-line is that it's really smart to consider *all* the variables that could be affecting the situation--especially the most obvious ones that you wouldn't even think about it.  As it turned out, in my case, I had tested the very same podcast on both iPhones, so no wonder I got the very same results!

    I think you're right-- however, I always thought that mono recordings played through both ears--always worked that way on my old stereo system! 
    This podcast does that, too, but only if one pulls the plug out a bit!  That's what's confusing to me.  Why does it change from both ears to only one ear depending on far the plug is pushed in?  (And especially as it behaves opposite what one would expect-- both ears when not plugged in all the way-- only 1 when fully embedded!)
