Issue with volume buttons on keyboard

I have a Pavilion g7-1167dx Notebook, using Windows 8.
I've had this problem for a long time, but just got around to trying to fix it. The raise/lower volume buttons on the keyboard usually work fine. However, after a while (a few uses or a few days), when I press either of these buttons, the Volume image will appear on my screen and display the current volume level, but I will be unable to actually change the volume.
To restore their usability, I need to open sndvol32 (or the volume icon on the bottom right of the screen) and change the volume any amount. After doing so, the keyboard volume buttons begin working again.
Any idea what is causing the volume buttons to stop working as I've described?

Hello JasonScando. I understand you're having some trouble with your volume buttons.
I'd like you try reinstalling the sound card's drivers, the HP Quick Launch software, and the HP On Screen Display.
Let me know the result and have a wonderful evening.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.

HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing

Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify. It is as if airplay is not runing. A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard and bootcamp 5

I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard.
I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my ThinkPad E430 but the keys are not compatible.
I installed BootCamp 5 and it worked great but whenever I restart, it changes my system's time.

What do you mean by racing around in circles? Have you done any damage to your phone? Like drop it or get it wet?

Since the last pair of updates, my game camera won't pan around in any adventure level, leaving many sub levels off screen. This is happening in all community adventure levels as well as my own on my moon. Also can't seem to decorate my adventure levels without experiencing major glitches, especially with changing the materials. The updates fixed a lot of stuff, but it seems like they trashed some things too.

IdeaPad Z370 and Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit - problem with volume buttons

I recently bought my new Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 without operating system and installed Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit (the pre-installed system was FreeDOS which I decided to remove).
Nearly all is working fine. The only exception are the volume keys: pressing them does start adjusting the volume, but causes a system problem. If I press sound up, the speakers move to immediately to the maximum volume and behave as it I was continuing to press the button.
The same happens when pressing the volume down or sound off buttons. It is then not possible any more to use the keyboard or type anyting, nor change the volume using the touchpad and Ubuntu's speaker symbol. It is also not possible any more to shut down the computer using Ubuntu's virtual shutdown button, but with the real button on the computer.
The touchpad is still working and after putting the computer briefly into standby the problem is solved to the degree that it is possible to use the keyboard etc. again, and the sound volume can be adjusted again with Ubuntu's speaker symbol.
I guess this must be a driver issue that ubuntu 11.1 does not support the buttons.
As well, the one-key-theatre button and the thermal-management button do not work. Pressing them, just nothing happens (except that the light up).
I should mention that installing Ubuntu apparently deleted the partitions including the one-key recovery button. At least this key does now only work like a second power-button. Unfortunately I did not receive the User-guide with the computer but only downloaded from the internet after installing Ubuntu.
I wonder whether apart from adjusting the volume buttons, it might be possible to get the one-key-theatre button and thermal-management-button operational for ubuntu too, and whether the one-key-recovery button could work under ubuntu too. Gparted tells me that I have 2 small partitions of 3.9 GiB each, labeled "extended" and "windows swap", and one of 1.02 GiB which is not in use apart from the main drive of course.

The issue you are encountering is due to driver absence in Linux.
The driver for Linux is not available. Hope, Ubuntu new version have more applications and drivers.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

After Yosemite install, sound button on MacBook Pro doesn't work-stuck at full volume or Mute. Can't adjust slider in preferences, or use volume button on keyboard.

Just installed Yosemite on my MacBook Pro 15", Retina display, early 2013 build. After installation, I cannot adjust volume for speakers. It is either completely off (muted) or on a FULL VOLUME. Neither the speaker volume buttons on the keyboard or the Sound Output slider on the Systems Preferences works. The slider does not move from full volume and the speaker buttons do nothing. This is just awful--can't get any sound except at full volume which is ear-splitting.

Talked to Apple Support. The support person took a bit, but figured out that Yosemite changes the sound output default to the installed HDMI display speakers--and the Mac does not control those speakers. This recurs every time there's a restart. The Solution is to go to System Prefs>Sound and change the OUTPUT device to the Internal Speakers on the Mac. Then sound controls work perfectly. This has to be done every time the system restarts, at least until Apple sends out a fix for this bug.
If you have an external device attached with speakers, apparently the Mac wants to make that default output device. Note that in my system on the list of output devices, the Internal Speakers are the first in the list...that generally is the "default" output device--but Yosemite doesn't recognize that and makes the HDMI device default output.
Not perfect, but now that I know the fix, I can live with it until there's a permanent fix from Apple.

HELP!! Issue with mailto button in PDF

Hi
I have a button in a PDF form that attaches default email (LOTUS NOTES) when clicked. I have my settings in IE set to Lotus Notes as my default client and also in Lotus Notes I have the same settings.
The form however does not work sometimes when the button is clicked, nothing happens. It works fine for me but doesn't on another computer with the same settings.
Is this an issue with the PDF or Lotus Notes? If so any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi

I tried it on the second computer again and it says no 'email exits'
Any help on why this is happening will be very useful.
thanks in advance!!

Someone else has a problem with volume button getting stuck?

My volume button gets stuck when I keep pressing it, it's software or hardware issue?

Restore as new, if that fixes the problem it is something in your settings or backup that was causing the issue.
If it does not fix the problem, you have a hardware issue.

Firefox Issue With Back button

I am having an issue with SpryHorizontal Menus in Firefox when using the back button. Even did a tutorial with Lynda.com and found their solution file had the same issue. Would anyone who has had success with 3 levels of submenus care to share a snippet of their code as I cannot find the error and outside help hasn't quite resolved the issue.
My code is following this basic outline
<li><div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Academics</a></div>
      <ul id="Academics">
        <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Departments</a>

Hi Beth,
Just an FYI. Also received another nice piece of information to store in the SpryAssets help file from an online Adobe Certified Course Director:
Thanks for your email! It isn’t often I get a great question like that. I had to do some digging, but I came up with a solution. You might have already worked your way through it, but if not the problem is Firefox’s (and Opera’s) caching that’s causing the issue in question. To fix it, you have to reset the submenu dynamic class names when the user clicks the link (re-caching the page is a bad idea).
This is a pretty simple javascript fix. The problem was so interesting that I posted the fix to my blog. You can check out the solution here: http://www.simpleprimate.com/?p=30 if you haven’t already figured it out.

Issues with rollover buttons in Indesign CS6

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on a issue i'm currently having.
I've produced a interactive map in Indesign, with rollover buttons which triggers an animation - all the buttons and animations seem to be set up correctly and once I export as a SWF they seem to work fine initially, but after a couple of rollovers some of the buttons just stop working. If I refresh the page or reopen the swf file it then starts working again for a period, but again after a few successful rollovers some stop working again. I'm wondering if this is a bug of some sort? Ive also tested the .swf on a different machine and I experience the same issue.
Any help with this would be be much appreciated.

We might be able to help you but you'll have to drop the attitude. We're not Adobe here, but users like you.
You'll need to tell us exactly what you're doing and what's not working for you. By "rollovers," you could mean the change of appearance of a button. You could also be meaning what are sometimes called Show/Hide buttons where clicking a button causes another button to appear. Which is it?
And what kind of output are you attempting? Interactive PDF? SWF (Flash)? DPS?

Z68A-G43(g3) issues with the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000

Hello,
we've buils a new PC with the MSI Mainboard Z68A-G43(G3) and the PC hangs on the start with the code 92. We noticed that the issue is caused by some USB device. After many tests we found out that when the MicroSoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2 is connected to the computer, it stops to start.
The keyboard is connected through the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1 to the USB, which is used to connect the mouse as well.
I'd like to use the kb + mouse set, how can I fix the issue.
Also, I tried to update BIOS via the Live Update, and it's not working, the BIOS download fails.
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Michal

The BIOS is 4.10.
Also I forgot one note, the KB is working, but only when it's connected alone. When we connect to USB port another device (Flash Drive, USB Wireless, ...) the PC won't start. When the KB is removed, the PC starts without any problem.
Also another note, when the KB was connected and the Zyxel Wireless PCI adapter was connected, PC doesn't start, when KB is disconnected, PC starts.
So there seems to be some issue with the MS device.
Regards,
Michal

Issues with volume

When I connect my nano to my JawBone speaker, there is a problem with volume. The volume icon appears on screen, but cannot be adjusted.

It also can't be adjusted via the JawBone. It just gets stuck. I have to reset, and it works for while and then the same problem will crop up again.

Anyone had problems with volume button (6th gen)

Volume button appears to act as if stuck - not constantly but in last days more and more - even if I hold down + button (to increase the volume) the volume then instantly reduces (as if I am pressing the - button) ... or I can be listening to music and then volume suddenly reduces (nothing is touching the - volume button).
Any ideas?

This can happen to all of the buttons on this model. Theres is basically a pad on top of each of the clicky parts on the buttons on the inside of the ipod that WILL come off after being used alot, some genius design. When the pad comes off there will be a space between the button on the outside and the clicky part on the inside rendering the button useless. It costs 75$ to replace if it isnt under warrenty and the ipods you get back from the repair are refurbished, which will break even sooner. I've gone through four of the ipod nano 6 gen, i dont abuse it or drop it. Avoid this model and shoot for older ipods. Or simply dont shop at apple at all.

Change song with volume buttons on N8?

When the phone is locked and in my pocket I often want to change to the next song.
Is it possible to remap the volume buttons to do this somehow?

nope
you can only adjust the volume from them (even when the phone is locked something i couldnt do on my 5800 so nice update there) but you can always just use the headset.....
