Macbook mute button is possessed.

Hi,
I've got a new unibody white macbook and the mute button is going crazy. the macbook keeps on muting and unmuting itself constantly. The screen overlay thing keeps popping up and i keep getting the "blip" like when u unmute it. i've tried restarting the macbook, resetting the pram, hasn't made a difference. It does it when i'm using it(i.e it's going nuts even as i type this) and does it when i just leave it alone on the table and don't touch it to.
Any help would be great.

I am having the same ongoing issue! This is such a hard problem to search for on the internet as well so I haven't been able to figure it out either. I thought it might be some kind of harddrive stuttering issue so I verified/repaired permissions and also verify/repaired disk but its still happening...anyone know where we can look into this more deeply?

  • Where is the mute button on a MacBook? Thanks.

    Where is the mute button on a MacBook? I see F10, F11 and  F12, but when I push each, nothing happens when I'm in iPhoto running a slide show and trying to turn the volume down. (I now understand how to mute the music...just have to be sure to punch "set as default" after un-checking the play music button.

    Please continue the original conversation rather than starting multiple threads on the same topic. Otherwise it clutters up the forums.

  • I don't have any volume. When I push the mute button or try to increase the volume up or down nothing happens. The volume shows up as if it were at full volume but no sound. I am so frustrated.

    I need some help with the volume on my macbook pro. I am getting absolutely no sound no matter if I push the volume increase or decrease button. Nothing changes. The volume bar shows up as if it were at full volume but no sound and the mute button doesn't do anything either.
    Please help.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers.
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port or not, 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.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56717.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Regards,

  • Satellite A660: Remark and a question about illumination/mute button

    Remark:
    Hi, I am a proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days old) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro since I received my laptop with a home version (need pro for work)...I encountered some problems but this forum really answered all my questions :) Never found such a helpful forum for technical support. So I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for the users :)
    Problem: Well, it's not really a problem, more of a curiosity... I had some problems with the eco button at that point illumination/mute button was for mute....Thanks to you guys I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled Flash card software and everything was working properly plus the illumination/mute button was for illumination now. I don't have anything against that, I prefer it that way, but I'm wondering how do I change that...I found some unanswered thread about using toshiba assistant and the illumination tab...Since my laptop is pretty new, I don't have an illumination tab, I was wondering how do I change the button to mute if I want to?
    Thanks, keep up the good work!

    It is nice to hear you found answers to your questions here. Many people here try to help.
    Back to your issue: It is not easy to offer precise answer and I really dont know if you can change settings for one single button. I think it has something to do with registry entries but how to change it is another question.
    If you use this button for illumination ON/OFF you can use FN+ESC for MUTE option so you will have both options that can be used using one single button or quick key combination.
    Can you please test it and confirm it works properly?

  • Volume and mute buttons do not work. no ringtone

    Volume and Mute buttons do not work. Ringtones and alerts all silent. Sound working for music etc...

    Sounds like you have a speaker fault and the phone would normally require servicing. But seeing as you have had the screen replaced, you will not be able to do this via the Genius Bar.
    You will probably need to go back to the place where you got the screen replaced and ask them to look at the speaker for you.

  • I have an iphone 4 and cannot get my mute off when I am using Facetime. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. When I touch the mute button, nothing happens. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

    the mute button is a switch you need to flip, not touch. if you look at it and see color, its on.

  • Mute button doesn't work to put phone in standby mode, help??

    I have a blackberry curve and the mute button will not work to put my phone in standby.  It does work to mute a phone call, however.  It has done this a couple of times, where it will work for awhile, and then stop working for awhile.  I'm not sure if I have hit something to make it so I can't put it in standby mode.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Welcome to the forums
    Did you press and hold the mute button? It takes a long key press to work. Also do a Battery Pull:
    1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
    2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
    3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
    This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=27660&n=QuickPull-Free
    A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

  • The Mute button doesn't work in the browser

    I Have the mute button on most of the time cause i don't want to hear alerts, but noticed that in the browser if a webpage has any type of sound it plays it regardless of the status of the mute button. I know the mute button is overwritten by Music/Video but it shouldn't be with Safari.

    that sounds broken, sad no one replied you two years ago .
    Actually is sounds as if it was working correctly. Mute only mutes notifications (phone rings, text, email, etc). What is less explicable is why you felt the need to resurrect this thread.

  • Volume missing in system tray, mute buttons not working

    hi, i just reformatted and installed the latest drivers for my Creative Soundblaster Digital 5. (dell) card, and at first everything was fine..
    Now they Icon for sound is missing from the system tray.. My volume dial and mute button no longer work. and yes i have gone in and selected to have it appear in the tray.. that does nothing.
    Also, all other sounds are working except for sounds from web browsers.. and I have all the necessary pluggins installed..
    thanks creative... great products...Message Edited by maluut on 0-0-2006 05:07 PM

    I have a similar problem with my elite pro card and would also like an answer.
    I installed the new drivers and now my volume knob does not work nor can I adjust volume with the remote control. The mute button does work though.
    Also why such an annoyance as to need the original disc in order to make the control panel work in the system tray? shouldn't driver updates be complete?
    Also...what's up with the max volume white noise during the driver install which made my ears ring and nearly blew out my speaker system?
