Nokia X6 volume controls don't work for music play...

Hi all
Just brought a new Nokia X6 for my wife and I have an odd problem.
I can start the music player from the home screen and skip forward and backwards a track with no problems. But I can't adjust the volume.
If I start playing music from the home screen and it's too loud or quiet, I have to open the music player itself before I can change the volume.
This seems very odd to me, and I have googled it and looked all the way through the forums here for the X6 and no one else has mentioned it. Does that mean it's only me having this trouble? Or does everyone else not use the music player from the home screen?
Also, I noticed that I cant fast forward and rewind a track from the home screen. If I hold my finger on the Foward button for an extended period of time, the track continues playing as normal and then ether skips to the next one when I take my finger off, or all the player buttons disapear from the home screen when I take my finger off.
Again, if I do this in the music player itself, the track will fast forward or rewind after a second or two holding the 'button' down. Anyone else tried this?
Thanks everyone in advance.

Yes, I realise that, but it only works when you are in the media player. If you are playing music from the home screen, then the volume button does nothing!! Is this how it's supposed to work?
I have looke right the way through the manual and it doesn't mention playing music from the home screen at all.
It seems odd to me that Nokia would build a phone expressly for playing music, have music controls on the front screen so that the user would not have to go to the music player to play music, then disable the volume controls on the home screen so the user is forced to go to the music player anyway.

Ipad Keyboard volume controls don't work?

When I have headphones plugged in to the jack on the keyboard the volume controls don't work. If I plug them in to the jack on the Ipad then the volume controls work. Known bug? Defective unit?
Any help appreciated.

The keyboard controls, but nevermind. I found out they're not supposed to work on the aux jack on the back of the keyboard. Guess I should RTFM
Thanks anyway, everyone!

My volume buttons won't work. Music plays when I get a phone call. That is the only time my speaker makes noise. My settings are how they should be, the top button is not on silent, I've shut my phone off many times, I've totally restored my phone. Help

2G Touch: Music is far too loud. Volume controls don't work.

My Touch is very new and it looks like there is stuff I don't understand yet.
When I play my music, any track, it's way too loud and is injurious to hearing.
I have slid the volume slider all the way to the left. No result. The slider does nothing.
I have used the volume buttons on the left of the Touch. No effect. Way too loud.
I have used the Volume Limiter in Settings>Music. It's all the way to the left. No effect.
Clearly the Touch must not be used to listen to music until I get my volume control working.
"Reset all settings" has no effect on the volume problem.
Any Suggestions?

OMG! Found it. Very unintuitive.
The Touch volume controls do not work if the 'Pod is sat in the Apple Universal Cradle. I was using the cradle without the USB cable.
That makes little sense to me.

Volume controls don't work in Messages iOS 8. And music stops playing when I open Messages

My volume buttons don't work when I'm in Messages on iOS 8, I can't change the ringer or headphone volume. More annoyingly music stops playing when I open Messages, but I can start it again. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

For all of you, the first thing to do when these things happen after an update, is to close all your open apps and reset. This will cure your ills 99.9% of the time:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

My volume controls don't work

The volume controls on my Nano don't work. How can I repair their operation?

Read the PDF user manual for a possible solution: iPod Manuals, search through Apple's Knowledge Base for support Articles and/or iPod Nano Support

No sound except Flash, volume control doesn't work for that.

My sound seems to be cursed. Everything else works fine for me, but in the few years I've been using Arch I've been plagued by constant sound problems. Apparently something in a recent update broke my sound. I get no sound for anything but Flash, except Flash sound is SUPER LOUD, and doesn't adjust with the volume control. Everything else, there's just no sound. Not in VLC, Amarok, Battle for Wesnoth, or other various programs I tried. I tried VLC using the default sound output, the pulse output, and even the ALSA output just for the heck of it. No dice. I was reading in another similar topic that KDE might be the culprit, and indeed I'm using Pulse and KDE. My asound.conf is the default one that comes with the pulseaudio-alsa package. I've tried both gstreamer and xine as backends, they both have the same problem. In pavucontrol, it looks like sound is playing. If I play music or a test sound, the sound bar moves, but you still can't hear anything.
Now here's where it gets weird. Selecting a device within Phonon is screwy. In the output section, the devices listed are as follows. All but the top one are grayed out.
Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)
Internal Audio Digital Stereo
Dummy Output
Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.1
Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.0
Now, in the audio capture section, the devices are different.
Internal Audio Analog Stereo
NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804)
NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804 - MIC ADC)
Pulse Audio
In that list, pulse is greyed out. Are they supposed to be different like that?
In any case... I'm at a bit of a loss. I just can't seem to keep the sound working on this thing. Any ideas?

I think I encountered the sound problem too. I'm using a thinkpad T42, installed gnome, using ALSA. Normally I just enter runlevel 3 into the console, I have ALSA configed and the soundcard is well recognized. But when I play .mp3 using mpg123, everything goes fine but just no sound output (I setted up alsamixer previously, and had all necessary channels unmuted.). That goes several days. And one day, after setting up alsamixer, I also did a alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.status store, miracle the sound is there. But the day after, the sound disappeared again. Now I'm totally lost, leaving me thinking whether it's a Arch sound bug?
By the way, my system is most updated and upgraded.

My earbuds volume control don't work with my iphone, but it does on my ipod?

I've done everything from blowing in the headphone jack to cleaning it with an q-tip and restoring the iphone. i know my ear buds work since the volume up and down and the play and pause controlls all work with my ipod touch but when i try using it with my iphone the controls still don't work. i'm about to go over to apple and get this replaced. the iphone is pretty much new too. i might've gotten some water inside it when i was putting on my screen protector but it wasnt that much.

Count me in. I have the "Backup ccould not be completed" error since november.
Yesterday it worked once right after I restored my iPad while iTunes transfered all the data back to my iPad. So it is definitely not a problem on the iCloud side but on the iPad's Apps side.
My guess is that it might be just one app's data which blocks iOS from backing up correctly...
Any ideas?

I had to buy a new keyboard but F10, F11 & F12 don't work for the volume. What can I do to activate it?

I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HP keyboard volume controls don't adjust anymore after upgrading to W7 64 bit

Motorola S9-HD audio controls don't work with 3GS?

I'm the recent and proud owner of a 3GS and Motorola S9-HD headset. The headset easily pairs with the phone and plays music flawlessly (sounds awesome too). Only catch is that the only controls that work on the headset are the volume. The audio controls don't work at all.
Anyone know of a work around for this or if I'm just out of luck...

Word is the OS3.O for iPhone does not support full implementation of music controls via Bluetooth. Not a defect of your headset. As we all know, Apple has been dismal at implementing Bluetooth on its devices. However, word is that OS3.1 update for iPhone will fix this. I have both the Motorola S9-HD headset and the Motorola S805. Neither has full control with my iPhone 3GS using the current OS.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
Is there supposed to be a length limit?

Adding swf (Captivate clips) into RoboHelp: flash controls don't work

Hi all,
I've added captivate swf project and ALL the flash controls (toc, play etc) don't work, though it plays continuously from the beginning. If I extract that page HTML code and play it separately, it works on all browsers. I render RoboHelp projects as MS HTML Help.
Are there any known issues with rendering flash clips in Microsoft HTML Help? it looks as it is using some weird embedded browser for swf.
any suggestions?
thanks

Hi again
Okay, this gets curiouser and curioser the more I look at it.
At first blush it appeared things were working. Then I tried the playback controls. Odd, the controls will allow a single click and they will carry out whatever function you clicked. But that seems to be it. Further clicks appear to be disallowed. I tested with a fresh Captivate movie as well as one that uses the Domain Lock Widget.
Wondering if this was an overall issue with SWF content in general or if it was simply tied to the Playback Controls, I then tried adding some button objects to each slide to allow the user to navigate from slide to slide. This seems to work.
I thought (hoped actually) that perhaps it was simply the default playback controls causing the issue. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be. I tried creating a SWF using the Aluminum controls. Same issue.
At this point I have to admit that I'm more than a little stumped. I'm surprised that I've not heard of this before or that others haven't reported it. However, I use Captivate files in my CHM files all the time. The main difference is that I never use playback controls in my movies. I am always using either Buttons or Click Boxes to navigate.
So being generally unsatisfied and poking it further, I seem to have found the culprit. I did the same thing in RoboHelp 7 and there wasn't an issue. What was different? I scrutinized the code and there was no difference. Hmmm
Then it hit me. The difference here was that where the Captivate playback control only functioned after the first click, the RoboHelp project was using Browse Sequences. So I edited the window definition and turned them off. BINGO! The Captivate works fine now.
I also tested using RoboHelp 7. Same issue there as well.
Definitely this should be reported to Adobe as a bug. Link is in my sig.
Cheers... Rick
