Mic Mute Hotkey doesn't work, Sound Mute Button won't change its color [Windows 10]

Hello everyone,
I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 x64 on my HP Probook 450 G1 (E9Y30EA), and after installing drivers I noticed when I turn off the sound, my Mute Button won't change its color to amber (or orange, yellow, whatever), as it did in Windows 8.1 and 7.Also, another thing that's not working at all is Microphone Mute Hotkey (fn + F8). It neither turns off the microphone, nor lights up its LED. I have the latest version of HP Hotkey Support driver installed (7.0.13.1), HP Quick Launch Buttons, HP Wireless Button, installed, .NET Frameworks 2.0 and 3.0 etc.. everything is up-to-date, but it's still not working as it should. Microphone muting just doesn't work at all, and pressing (sound) Mute Button does mute sound, but its light stays white, so I often don't know whether I had the sound on or off with the glance of an eye as I used to. On the other hand, HP Wireless Button works normally, and it changes its color to amber when I press it to turn on Airplane Mode. TL;DR: Microphone Mute Hotkey doesn't work; Sound Mute Button does work, but its LED doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to fix that, or is it just a problem with driver incompatibility that would be fixed in some of the next updates? Or is it something else, like Windows 10 issue or audio driver maybe?
Thanks in advance, pajser92

Hi,
First download the sound driver using the links below and save the installer to your Desktop.
Audio Driver - Windows 7
Audio Driver - Windows Vista
When the download has completed, right click the installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation - ignore any warnings you may see about this being an earlier version. When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
Regards,
DP-K

Media player hotkeys doesn't work with Windows Media Player 11

Hi;
I upgraded my windows media player 10 to 11 version. Now my hotkeys doesn't work. I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem.

Hi
Do you mean the Toshiba Control buttons which control the WMP function like play, pause, stop, etc
On some Toshiba notebooks the Toshiba control buttons can be configured manually.
Please check this in the control panel -> Toshiba controls.
If you will be not successful I would recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5

My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, daniel.early79!
I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

AirportExpress - AirTunes doesn't work any more after wifi router change

AirTunes doesn't work any more since I have changed my wifi router.
I have fully reseted the AirportExpress station. I can see the AEX station in the drop down menu of iTunes but it can't connect.
When I use Airfoil, all works fine.
I have tried to trash to Airport preference file but this was unsuccessful as well
Any idea to correct this ?

Try the following steps and let me know if this works for you.
Press the wireless button on your printer, go to print reports, and select configuration.
After you have that, we will need to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS). You can do so by entering the printers IP address (from the network configuration page) into your browsers address bar and pressing enter.
Once there, press the "Network" tab at the top of the page. From there you will want to click the "IPv4" button, located on the lef-hand side of the page. It will be there for WIreless and Wired, so make sure to click the one for you however you are connected. If you do not see "IPv4", you should see "Networking", press that and then press "Network Address(IP)".
Next, you will want to click the small round button next to "Manual IP Address" and then fill in the boxes for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway, using the information found on the network configuration page.
For the Primary or Preffered DNS Server, you will want to enter 8.8.8.8.
For the Secondary or Alternate DNS Server, you will want to enter 8.8.4.4.
Click apply and when the message pops up saying that the changes have been applied, press "OK".
Press the power button on your printer, wait for it to fully power off and then press it again to power it back on.
After doing this, go ahead and try to enable ePrint again.

Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Sound on Video doesn't work - sounds like data.

I have the IPOD video 60GB. I have never been able to get the sound on my videos to work. The music works perfectly fine. The video and sound play fine in my Itunes, but the sound comes out like data on the ipod iteself. The video picture plays fine on the ipod. I am very frustrated with it at the moment because no one seems to be able to figure out the problem. Anyone have any advice and/or has anyone else had this problem?

The picture from the video looks fine. The video and sound play fine on my computer in I Tunes. When I transfer the video to the Ipod, the Video plays, but the sound doesn't work properly. It comes out sounding sounding kind of like data on a dial-up connection. The techie guy at Best Buy totally cleaned it off, used their computer to reload and update I-Tunes put a different video on it and had the same result. The best I can tell, there truly is a hardware problem with my ipod since we've been able to recreate the problem on spearate machines with different videos after completely wiping the ipod. I just wish the tech support desk would figure that out.

NB - FN keys doesn't work so I can't turn on WiFi on Windows 7

I cannot turn wireless on because FN-F8 doesn't work on Windows 7. Anyone could help me solve this problem?
Is it possible to remove Windows 7 and reinstall Windows XP again? (I formated drive C before setting up Windows 7) Now, I don't know how to remove Windows 7 and reinstall window xp.
Thank you very much for your helps in advance.

Hello. I'm new to the forum but have the same old problem. I had performed a smooth "free" upgrade to Windows 7 and was contented until I tried to lock the computer using FN+F1. After numerous installs of Toshiba Value Added Pack (all versions), TOSHIBA Assist and Toshiba Flash Cards, I've reached a dead end with nowhere to go. In TOSHIBA Assist I have also tried the OPTIMIZE -> TOSHIBA Hardware Settings : Button Settings : Function Button ->' Enabled' but it does not seem to keep itself checked (after a restart I find 'Disabled' checked instead)
This is really beginning to grind my gears. ANY help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated =)

Line in doesn't work Sound Blaster Audigy 2 - yes mute is off! - any ide

Hi,
I've been puling my hair out trying to hook my decks line out to line in on sound card Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (sold with PC). The sound card works fine for TV etc but I can't get any sound from line in for external devices. I've tried hooking up other devices such as iPod and Hifi and can't get any line in devices to play through my PC.
I've run the diagnostics test and tests complete succesfully.
Any ideas about how to get this sorted? Is this a known problem? Any other settings I can check on my PC?
I've searched the forums and can't see any messages related to this subject apart from one and the suggested solution was to check the mute button wasn't on, obviousy I have checked this one ;o), and the problem is elsewhere.
HELP!!! I'm dying to get a mix recorded onto MP3!!!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards
Rob

Rob,
Well if it isn't working on either input then it is most likely a software problem. Is this a platinum version of the Audigy 2? If so you may want to check your mixer and make sure that line2/mic2 is also unmuted to test from it. If this isn't a Platinum dri've, was this card installed in a prebuilt system? Then the front connecter may override the back one. I would launch the Window's mixer, go to options and make sure that every control has a checkmark in it. Then go down the line and make sure nothing is muted. This is mainly a double check step.
I am not sure what else could cause the line in not to work, you might want to consider contacting support directly in this case.

I upgrade my iPhone 4s to iOS 8 but the mute ringer doesn't work properly

configure the audio session correctly so that the audio is not silenced by the ringer switch
because when I'm trying to play inside apps (like YouTube to Facebook) it doesn't have any audio unless I unmute it.. But when I'm playing on some apps the audio is working.. It's really frustrating since I just want it to be silent mode only in ringing but not on apps please fix the bugs. More power!
