HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when setting volume

Hi
I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez, and when I change volume using the volume touch-slider on top of the keyboard, volume is adjusted accordingly but no volume indicator appears on the screen.
Previously, while setting volume, a speaker icon with a slider popped out in the middle of the screen showing current volume level.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and both Windows Update and HP update shows that I have latest version of software. Also, I've the latest version of the BIOS installed.
As a side note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and wireless enable, etc.) stopped working a few days after the volume indicator disappeared, I fixed that by plugging off power and disconnectiong battery for a while. Still, the indicator is yet not showing. Not sure if this is related (I guess not).
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Volume OSD is a function HP MediaSmart Menu. It will need to load on start up. To do that, go to msconfig, and make sure it is checked under the Startup Tab....
If it is not there, you can download it from here...ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48552.exe

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello Tajamal, 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the webcam isn't working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would have to suggest returning to Windows 8 since there are no 8.1 drivers, as indicated here: HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

    Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.  I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file.  I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild.  Any Help?!  Any Suggestions on how to fix this?!  I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
    I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

    The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
    If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database  --  if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
    If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
    You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

  • Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

    Hello,
    I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
    The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
    So where is the error in it?
    Please help...
    Thanks

  • Date not showed when report is viewed in PDF .

    Hi,
    We have a text field that shows the date on which the report is running.Date is not showed when report is viewed in PDF.But in HTML we can view them . Can any one help me out?
    Totally there are four pages for the report.

    I have observed the PDF driver iin EPM 11.1.2.x is not up-to-date and technically the Date (Text) is there just like in HTML. However, when you increase the View (Zoom in), it eventually does show up.
    I have chatted with Oracle Support, and they will not address it with a patch for now.

    Thank you for the sugestion, but it was working fine both on the lock screen and on my home screen. I check all my settings and it is how it was from Friday, when I got the iPhone 5s. It just stop working.  The only way I can fix it is by shutting down the phone. It will work for a while, then it won't. 

  • Help: Records not showing when cube is placed under the Multiporivider

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Cube called Bcube with char Plant,calm year/month, material and Key Figure, Pqty
    When I generate a report on this Cube, everything looks fine and I see plants, year, etc in the report
    There are 2 other cubes:
    MCube also has char Plant,calyear/month, material and Key Figure: Pqty, Sqty, TQty, AQty
    DCube also has same as BCube: with char Plant,calyear/month, material and Key Figure Pqty
    When I place all three cubes under the multiprovider, the values from the BCube does not show up in reports
    e.g. in a simple report such as
    Row       :  Plant
    Columns:  Pqty, Sqty, TQty, AQty
    In the Multiprovider, under the Indentification of Characteristics, I checked the boxes for all three cubes whenever the same charactertic in all cubes showed up for identification: e.g..
    InfoProvider  InfoObject
    Bcube----
    Plant
    MCube-------Plant
    DCube -
    Plant
    and same for. e.g. 0Calyear
    and same for Key Figures, e.g. I checked all 3 boxes  for PQty which exists in each of the cubes
    1. Why is my data for BCube not showing when reporting against the multiprovider?
    2. what does it mean by checking the 3 boxes for Plant? and checking the 3 boxes for 0Calyear.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    regarding your questions:
    1. When I run listcube against the multiprovider, I only went to the output list to select the fields I needed in the output; then entered the particular cube e.g. BCube in the infoprovider field. That was it (NO other selection) and I got the described results I explained earlier. If you have a specific test for me to try, please let me know.
    2. Please find the settings in both characteristics and key figures for all cubes in the MULTIPROVIDER maintenance screen:
    Characteristic Assighment:
    0calyear -- 3 boxes checked for BCube, DCube & MCube
    Plant -- 3 boxes checked for BCube, DCube & MCube
    0Material-- 3 boxes checked for BCube, DCube & MCube
    Key Figure selection
    PQty-- 3 boxes checked for BCube, DCube & MCube
    Sqty --checked for DCube, this key fig is ONLY in DCube
    TQty--checked for DCube, this key fig is ONLY in DCube
    AQty--checked for DCube, this key fig is ONLY in DCube
    I hope this helps you to guide me.
    Or, were you referring to mappings in the transformations?
    Thanks
