Microphone Mute Button Doesn't Work - T510

Pretty simple issue.  I think I have the latest software updates installed but on my Win7 64-bit T510, all keyboard special buttons work except for Microphone mute.  Speaker mute and speaker volume buttons work fine. I'm having to mute my mic from the Recording Devices screen in Win7. 
What could prevent Microphone mute button from working?

I've got the same problem on  my new T410. I think quite a few people do, but for some reason, this isn't getting much attention. Strange how you can buy a high end product, from a reputable laptop manufacturer, and the product still doesn't work. Quite hard to believe - I mean, this is the year 2010, and a simple button on the notepad doesn't work. Also, hard to believe the audio is not supported on the display port....
Would be hard to believe that audio isn't supported on the display port, since it is supported..

  • Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

    I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work.   It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad. Same thing happens in the control panel when I switch functions and try to mute the sound there.  It used to toggle between Volume on and off.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • 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 sound mute button doesn't work on my HP pavilion dv6

    The finger button on the pavilion dv6 doesn't work for the sound mute button.  I'm not sure if a setting has been disabled or not. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore it ?

    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/sp48501-49000/sp48668.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, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if the mute button now functions correctly

  • 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.

    App Producks wrote:
    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.

  • Mute Button Doesn't Work

    My laptop has a mute button on the keyboard which does work in general. I just installed iTunes 7.1.1.5. When I am playing music and I hit the keyboard "mute" button, the computer mutes for a second and then unmutes - so the mute button (essentially) does nothing. This problem has only occured since I upgraded (I did not have this problem with previous versions) and does not occur when either iTunes is paused or iTunes is not open at all. Thank you,
    Michael

    My laptop has a mute button on the keyboard which
    does work in general. I just installed iTunes
    7.1.1.5. When I am playing music and I hit the
    keyboard "mute" button, the computer mutes for a
    second and then unmutes - so the mute button
    (essentially) does nothing. This problem has only
    occured since I upgraded (I did not have this problem
    with previous versions) and does not occur when
    either iTunes is paused or iTunes is not open at all.
    This problem was introduced in iTunes 7.1 (or possibly reintroduced). It certainly did not affect 7.0. It only happens when iTunes is running and is NOT the front-most Application.
    It really hacked me off when this happened because I normally leave iTunes running in the background while running Media Center 2005. iTunes can then share the library across my network and also automatically download podcasts.
    The culprit is a DLL in the iTunes application and is in the following location…
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll
    I initially tried iTunes 7.1.1 (did not fix it), then a couple of third party tools for remapping media keys which claimed to help (but did not), and finally bit the bullet and tried another tip which is to replace the above DLL file with a folder using EXACTLY the same name including the .dll extension. This does work and I can now use the Microsoft Media Center remote control to mute the volume etc. even with iTunes running in the background.

  • 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.

  • T400 ThinkVantage Button doesn't work

    Hey, I have a problem with the ThinkVantage Button. I was plan to use Powerquest PartitionMagic 8.0 to create a new partition from my C driver. However, instead of create a new partition I lost the Lenovo driver. After that I realize my ThinkVantage Button doesn’t work anymore. I tried to use Disk Management to refund the lost driver, but it pop out some warning like this “The operation failed to complete because the Disk Managemen console view is not up-to-date.” Could anybody tell me how to make my ThinkVantage Button work again? Thank you very much. System:T400Core 2 Duo 2,26 GHz2 GB DDR3Windows Vista home basic 32x Sorry for my English.   Greeting and thanks 

    Hello nivek, welcome to Lenovo forums!
    I think you have messed up your R&R partition, with Pmagic Use gparted instead, it will recognise the R&R partition.
    Is your windows installtion already working?
    Try the master boot repair kit mentioned by AndyP here.
    I would also suggest to call support, for your recovery discs, cause the create R&R disc function seem also down.
    Perhaps only a fresh installation, from these discs, would bring back your Blue Button function in your case.

  • Standby button doesn´t work on iphone 5.

    since 2 days the standby button doesn´t work. after pressing several times, sometimes it will work.
    what can i do? my iphone is from 09/2012.

    This is a common problem, the on/off button and the mute, volume up and volume down are on the same flat, so you have to take it to an Apple store so they can fix it, or if you cant go right now you can activate the AssistiveTouch bi going to Settings=>General=>Accessibility=>AssistiveTouch. turn on it will help you.
    Good Luck

  • A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

    A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

    I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

  • Can't lower voice memo volume. My decrease button doesn't work anymore. Any other way i can lower it without disabling speaker

    Own an iphone 5. Can't control voice memo volume from anywhere that deals with volume on my phone. My decrease button doesn't work. I have to listen to my voice memos on full blown volume. Can't lower it from settings or from music. Help please!

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer. 
    The Size of all disks is: 6 x 4 TB.
    In the Pool are 5 x 4 TB plus 1 x Hot Spare. 
    It comes up to about 14,6 TB of Data formatable.
    But tried it also with just 3 x 4 TB to see if it works. 
    I just made a Raid5EE on the controller and then used Storage Spaces with simple, all worked fine. 
    Here the results of my tests: 
    1) your command had to be modified (typoe in usemaximumsize, and had to add -ResiliencySettingName Parity. 
    new-virtualdisk -friendlyname testpsh -storagepoolfriendlyname test -ResiliencySettingName Parity -usemaximumsize
    But anyway, my problem is not creating the virtual disk, but formatting the partition if it's parity only. 
    I added a screenshot: 
    Here you see my storage pool, and I added 3 virtual disk. 
    1 simple, 1 mirror, 1 parity. Only the parity cannot be formatted. The others can. No mather which size I do. 
    About a testserver, I added 4 x 4 TB to a VM (VHDX-files) and could do parity without problems. So it seems it is this server specific.
    As it worked with another controller, I really wonder if the controller could break parity of Storage Pools?
    The other weird part is, it sais "Raid" as BUS, but it's set to pass through, in details I see the serial of the attached HDD. 
    This is what properties shows on this volume. Always RAW. 
    I also tried Software Raid5 within the server. 
    This also worked fine. So really only parity. 
    Thanks
    Patrick

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
