Faulty screen graphic with keyboard volume adjustment

I have the HP TouchSmart 610-1030y and when I press the volume control buttons on the keyboard, instead of the graphic showing the volume control on the screen, all I get is a blank white box. The volume adjustment does work, it's just the screen graphic that is faulty. What drivers or software can I try re-installing to fix this? Pressing the volume control buttons on the side of the monitor does the same thing. Using Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you.
This question was solved.

Keyboard, On Screen Display, Buttons software is what generates the volume graphics, if you head in that direction you should resolve it.

Glitch with iTunes Volume Adjustment.

I'm having this tiny glitch with the volume adjustment feature in iTunes. I have certain songs that are too soft, so I turned the volume adjustment on those songs to 100%. I sync those songs to my iPhone 3GS running 5.0.1. However, after those songs finish playing, the next song that plays will also be adjusted to 100%, even when I didn't make it that way. Only way to rectify this is to choose another song from my music list on my iPhone, making the volume back to normal.
It's a minor annoyance, but one nonetheless. I have my playlist on shuffle, and everytime I hear a song which I know I adjusted to 100%, I know I have to choose another song from my playlist because the next song that comes after that will be insanely loud.
If anyone can provide me with a solution, it is greatly appreciated.

Never mind, resyncing seems to have solved the problem.

Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

Hey everybody,
I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers. Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing. If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
restart
to get it back:
mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/
confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

Strange Audio Glitch With Volume Adjust

When I hit the volume keys on the keyboard to adjust the volume, there is a delay that I do not get when doing the same with my desktop system. There is also an audible click on the audio when the volume is adjusted. If I go to audio preferences and then use the same keys to adjust the volume, the click and delay goes away. When I leave audio preferences the problem is still fixed for at least awhile. Rebooting brings back the annoying click and delay and I think it comes back after awhile whether the computer is rebooted or not. I have experimented with turning the audible response to volume changes on and off and this has no effect on the problem other than the problem goes away because sound preferences have been opened to make the change and not because of what the setting is. I think the problem must have to do with the sound source being opened and closed whether the audible response is set or not. When sound preferences are opened, it's as if a different routine is being used when the volume keys are pressed and it continues to be used until that piece of code gets purged from RAM memory when it hasn't been used for awhile.
I'm just curious if anyone has this issue as well.

Ah, the ever popular "feature" explanation.
I can accept that it is a result of attempting to implement a feature but the way it is working on my machine indicates that this "feature" is poorly implemented.
Well designed computer programming anticipates users actions as best as possible and makes things work as best for the current situation. Most Apple programming is a perfect example of how to do this correctly. When I hit a key to change the volume, it's reasonable to think that there's a good chance that I will hit the key again because once might not change the volume sufficiently enough. Instead, what I get is the sound channel turning on and off for every key press, no matter how quickly I press the key. This happens even if I do not have an audible response selected. Should sound be turned on when there isn't any sound to be played? I don't think this should be necessary for changing the volume if you do not have an audible response set.
Now this is how I feel this should actually work:
Sound, when running from battery should be handled like a disk drive or a screen. If it is not used for a set amount of time then it should be turned off and turned back on only if it is needed again. Hitting the volume keys when no sound is playing might set a shorter time limit before the sound is turned off but the "on" time should be sufficiently long enough to hit a volume key again without requiring the sound to be turned off and on on each press.
Remember how I mentioned that the sound problem would go away, maybe even for days if I opened the sound preferences? This would indicate to me that under this situation, the sound is not actually being turned off after a reasonable amount of time. Under certain situations, it doesn't stay on long enough and others, it stays on too long. If I am right about it happening during sound playback, then it's really messing up by turning off and then on when it clearly doesn't need to.
I am pretty sure that I have had the issue while plugged into power and at least once while iTunes was playing. Certainly when sound is already playing this shouldn't occur. For some reason, I can't seem to get the issue to surface again, but I think that it just might take some time after rebooting sometimes for it to happen again. I will post more on this when it happens again.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness with Fn Keys on New L540 (8.1 x64)

Hello everyone. I just purchased a new L540 with Windows 8.1 x64 on it and have run into a problem I'm seeing is apparently common. While my other Fn keys work as intended, I cannot adjust screen brightness with them. Pressing the buttons just does nothing and the laptop is running at full brightness at all times, even when on the battery. I have installed the latest Power Management Driver and from what I can tell, there is no version of the Power Management Software for anything newer than Windows 7. I also have installed the latest Hotkey driver (in fact, I've installed all the latest drivers for this machine.) I read in another thread that this can be caused by the latest HD Graphics driver from Intel but I actually can't even install that driver (says my system is not supported) so I am still using the latest Lenovo provided driver.
Can anyone please assist with this? I want to be able to quickly adjust screen brightness when on battery but I can't do that at present. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem with my L540. It started with the update of the BIOS to version 1.65. Because I didn't find a solution, I went back to BIOS version 1.64, where all the brightness options are there and work properly.
You can download older versions. When on the page with the new drivers (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS037285) go to BIOS Driver 1.65, then choose "learn more". At the end of the following page you'll see all the older versions.
That you can install version 1.64, you have to change the "Secure RollBack Prevention" Option in the BIOS: Restart the Computer. When you see the option "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter", press Enter. Press once again Enter. Press F1 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. Choose "Security" -> then "UEFI Bios Update Option" -> then "Secure RollBack Prevention". Change this option to "Disabled". Then press F10 to save configuration changes and exit.
After restarting Windows you can install BIOS 1.64.
Another possibility is to wait for the next BIOS version ....

Lost volume and mute screen graphic after various STB settings changes - how to get it back?

STB: QIP7232
Software Release 1.9
Build 10.95
Just got FIOS triple play installed yesterday. I am using STB to control TV volume (had to use remote code 9-5-5 to make that work - STB software settings alone did not work). I need to use the STB for volume because my older TV - SD Mitsubishi - cannot be controled via remote - its remote sensor no longer works. Initailly I had a graphic volume bar on screen - upper right quadrant - when changing Volume or using Mute from the remote - the graphic bar would disappear after about 10 seconds. After exploring and changing some of the STB settings, I noticed that the volume bar no longer displays at all. I'd like it back - but cannot figure out how to get it back. The graphic feedback helps me know that the STB received the command from the remote. The volume function from the remote is working - it is the graphic I am missing.
Does anyone know what STB setting might affect this? Or, is it possible to go back to "default" settings on the STB?
I tried calling Verizon - but they were not helpful - as long as volume control was working, they did not want to help me get the graphic back.
Anyone else encounter this? Thanks in advance...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for your reply, but Volume Control was already set to Variable. And sorry for the delay in responding - I was trying to figure out if I could repeat (and even fix) the issue - now I have - tho there may be more than one way to do this:
To produce the problem on my setup:
1. While watching TV with no STB graphics on screen - check to see volume control graphic is there by hitting volume button on remote - wait until the graphic goes away.
2. On Remote, hit Favorites button (already set to "Toggle Flip by Favorites") - Info graphic (bottom 1/3 of screen) comes up indicating that I am in "Mode:Favorites 1".
3. On Remote, hit Guide Button
4. On Remote hit Exit Button
Volume / Mute graphic no longer appears when the buttons are pressed on the remote, tho the volume / mute functions do work. I can power off the STB - and still the volume / mute graphics are gone.
To fix:
1. On Remote, hit "On Demand" Button. (Wait for "loading" to finish)
2. On Remote, hit Exit.
Now the volume / mute graphic is visible again!
Hunh???
Is this a bug?
Note: remote is VZ P265v2 RC

Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
Buttons pressing themself...
Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
suggestions?

Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though. Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

Keyboard volume not working with airport

Hi I have set up my Airport with my hifi and love it, the only thing I don't like is that I cannot use the keyboard volume control. The onscreen control and the hifi control are fine, but i would like to set the keyboard volume controls to work. Anyone know how to do this? I'm sure I used to be able to do it! Thanks

1.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Volume control keys not functioning. PC model: s5268hk, with keyboard model: KG-0851

I am using a desktop slimline model: s5268hk, with keyboard model: KG-0851. I don't remember what program I installed that caused the trouble but anyway, right now- it is not functioning like the usual. I re-installed the driver from HP support yet nothing has changed. I appreciate any advice you can provide, thanks to everyone in advance!

You may have to go back to a known good system restore point.
Right mouse click on my Computer, select properties, then advanced system setting then restore. When you get to the restore window, check the box to show all available restore points and pick a date where your know when your PC worked correctly.
If you are using a Norton AV product then turn off "tamper protection" before you attempt a restore or it will fail.
