Remove all apps from multitasking bar. Double click Home button then tap and hold an icon and tap on little x on every app. Then reset. Hold down Home and Power button until Apple logo appears.

Flash audio controls is gone from the Windows audio mixer.

Flash audio controls is gone from the Windows audio mixer. The sound is, but I can not control it separately from the browser. Previously, there was a separate flash and a separate browser. When I use FF3. *. Flash Player audio option was, but the new FF versions do not. For me it was very comfortable and loved.
How can I repay such opportunity? and whether there is still a possibility?

Thank cor-el, but it did not help. I tried everything ( I installed it all over again, several times , clean cookies I'm using [[BetterPrivacy 1.68|BetterPrivacy 1.68]] add-ons clean cookies ... ), but the problem is not in the Flash Player to crash. It works. But I can not manage alone plugin container volume and alone audio browser.
I am not a programmer, so I do not know how I can change it yourself.
Maybe someone already has it done? I would be grateful if you divide.
Sorry for my bad English. Here's screen shot if I can not clearly say:

The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4, but the ringtone volume is still loud! Adjusting the volume in "Settings" only changes the ringer volume, I just can't find a way to increase the alerts volume! Help please!!!

Hi ecsands,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

My ipad 3 keeps losing sound controls

My ipad 3 keeps losing its sound controls. I have tried all the advice online about going into settings and moving the switch on the side by the volume controls.
When it happens (its been at least once a week) the only thing that sorts it out is doing a reset (holding the home/power button down) and then waiting for a few hours.
When it happens if I double click the home button, swipe right and go to the volume controls there the control is empty (the little movable tab is gone)
What is wrong? Do I need to take it in?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that however it has just happened again for the second time today. :(

I recently upgraded from vista ultimate to vista 64 bit, and since the install, the sound controls do not work. now, I know i need a special driver to make them work, but can anyone point me to the correct one? Thanks

Go to Solution.

You need to install the HotKey driver.

Can not find sound controls for Satellite A80?

Hi, Im a very new user of a satellite A80, it only 4 days old, I played a cd and couldnt find any graphic equalizer or sound controls. I did get into the Toshiba assist area, but it wouldnt allow me to change the bass and treble, can anyone help me with this.
The cd automatically plays in window media player, is there a special program already installed on the hard drive for CD's, or is window media player what I should use?
thanks in advance,
deb

Hi Deb,
You don't say which version of Windows Media Player you have. However, there will be a Graphic Equalizer option somewhere but it may be well hidden.
I would recommend downloading the latest version from the Microsoft website.
On WMP V9 the Graphic Equalizer is accessed by clicking on a small window icon at the bottom left corner of the screen (if you hover the pointer over it is called 'Select Now Playing Options')this gives a pulldown menu on which the third item is called ENHANCEMENTS. This will expand to show the Graphic Equalizer.
You can, of course, use other software to play CDs. If you right click on the CD-ROM item in your My Computer
you will be able to set which programme you wish to use to play CDs.

Recording audio level in Sound control panel resets after each slide

This has been a HUGE problem for me ever since I went from Windows XP to Windows 7 and Captivate 5.5. Basically, the sound was not recording loudly enough no matter what I did. So, I checked the Sound Control Panel and the Level was down to 12. Of course, I adjusted it to 100. It would stay at 100 for just one recording. As soon as I hit the red recording button a second time, Captivate readjusts it back down to 12.
Now, you might think that this has something to do with my hardware device. Think again. I tried numerous hardware devices -- it did not matter which device I used -- the problem remained the same. You might also think that it is not a Captivate problem, but how do you explain that the problem does not exist when I record audio in any other program -- Lectora, Articulate, Windows Audio recorder? It ONLY occurs with Captivate.
So, I finally got an Adobe Support person on the phone ... somewhere way down in TIMBUCKTOO -- of course! And of course, he could not help me or explain why this is happening and tried to blame it on anything except Captivate. This has added 6-7 keystrokes to every slide I have to record.... and drastically impacted productivity.
Is anybody listening out there? Because I'm pulling my hair out and ready to dump Captivate!

I'm posting specs on my machine. If there are any settings I left out, please let me know where to go to find further information. I'm assuming my audio/sound devices may be of interest here:

Ios 6.1 upgrade no more sound control / Battery issues

Hi, is anyone experiencing no sound control since the upgrade?
I no longer have use of the sound radio buttons on the left side of the phone for music or audio playback, nor is there any audio "slider" on the screen in video or audio mode anymore.
Even when I double-press the home button when the phone is locked, I am only left with a play button and skip forward/back buttons! Once in a while, in locked mode it appears intermittently like a flicker, but that's it. This is SO frustrating!!! As far a as a media device, my iphone has been reduced to a brick!
If anyone from Apple is reading, the battery usage has also gone through the roof. In the last five minutes, I've gone from 53 to 47 percent despite closing all background programs and having the screen off.

I had the same thing, but then after restarting it it began to work normally. Otherwise I'd try restoring it. The battery usage problem you might wanna get checked out though.

After 10.8.5 bluetooth hardware disapeared and sound control on keyboard stopped working

all works fine in safe mode. i have already zapped the PRAM, applied the combo update and deleted the bluetooth prefs with same results.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

When using HDMI to HDMI cable the Master Sound Control is locked.

master sound control is locked when using HDMI to HDMI using an HDTV for the display.
Although itunes sound control works. Why is the Master Control locked?

Hello,
I am new to OS X and i have tried to adjust the sound when plugged to the secondary monitor through HDMI which of course didn't work.
I have been using windows and a linux for years now, and everything works seamless.
I believe that this could be easily solved by Apple as long as their are willing to do it. Having a virtual device for sound control is not that difficult.
All the bests
There are two ways to 'solve' this.
Alter the volume before sending the digital signal down the HDMI connection, this means the signal is no longer exactly as it was originally. Apple's current (apparent) view is that this should be done at the end i.e. playback device not at the originating (Mac) end so as to minimise the number of devices making changes to the signal. Basically 'volume' is the amplitude of a an analogue wave form. (Where else do you think the term 'amp' comes from.)
Not to alter the volume of the signal at the Mac end but instead to send a signal down the HDMI cable to tell the end i.e. playback device to alter the volume, this uses a standard called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), unfortunately at the moment no Macs support this standard - it has to be supported at a hardware level so a simple Apple software upgrade to implement this is not possible. I have previously logged an official enhancement request for this with Apple - the more people who do this the more likely it is to be added, since now all Macs include HDMI it might happen at some point.
As an addendum to option 2 above, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx this would however require software support in whatever application is being used. XBMC for Mac does support it.

Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open and close WinDVD or Winfast

Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open these programs, and when they're closed the main volume resets to where it was before the program was opened.
Surely I'm not the only one who has had this problem before.. I've had the problem with both Creative soundcards I've owned, before and after different drivers installations.
It can be very irritating and can potentially lead to damaged speakers if I'm not paying close attention to what my various volume knobs are set at before and after I open these programs.
I appreciate any and all input, thankyou.

I had to edit to reflect its Mavericks 10.9

How can I turn off sound controll whele on the Satellite A200

How can I turn off the external sound controll in front of laptop - the wheel? It does not work, sound volume is permanently muted.
OS: MS Windows XP
Thanks

Thank you Jaba,
it is Toshiba Satellite A200 Series. Drivers, its configuration and configuration of operating system is OK. The wheel is mechanical damaged, so that is the point. I have to disable its function in operating system. But where can I disable it? I have tried to uninstall Toshiba utilities (controls, hotkeys), reinstall drivers. I have tried to find an option in BIOS, there was no one.
btw: I am a linux administrator, but I have advanced knowledge of windows systems so you can be short.
