Pavilion dv6 volume controls

Hi,
For some reason the volume control panel on my keyboard has stopped working - it is located above the keyboard, next to the power button.  The wireless adaptor button is in the same place and has also stopped working.  As far as I can tell there is no button to disable this part of the keyboard like there is for the touchpad, and I tried to do a troubleshoot of the keyboard but was told there is nothing wrong with it.  Has anyone got any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks,
Abi

Hi,
This may be worth trying as the problem can be caused by a static build up in the bezel.  To see if this is the case, shut down the PC, remove the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Now hold the power button down for a good 30 seconds.  Replace the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the PC.
Best wishes,
DP-K

  • My HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 touch-operated volume control not working

    I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 and I was trying to use the volume control to turn up the volume but it isn't recognizing my touch, in other words, when I touch the volume control the volume isn't adjusting.  I have to manually do it by clicking the right hand corner volume control and adjusting it that way.
    What is wrong?  The rest of the laptop is working fine. 
    Thanks for any help you can lend my way!

    Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer?
    If you need help finding it, you can use the following link:

  • Unable to control one-touch Audio and Wifi Icons on - HP Pavilion DV6-1235ee

    Hello All,
    For a week or so, I am not able to enable/disable my Audio (even volume control) or Wifi buttons using the one-touch button (on the the same panel of power switch) in my HP Pavilion DV6-1235ee laptop.  I restarted few times and re-installed the chipset driver and input driver guessing it might help, to no result.
    I've not done anything strange in the computer but installed few application related to my job.  And I am not used to regularly shutting down or rebooting my computer but keep it locked.
    My OS: Windows 7 Professional X64
    Please Help

    Hi,
    It's always worth trying a Hard Reset as follows.
    Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and see start the notebook.

  • Keyboard volume control and wireless switch - HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook

    My keyboard volume control & wireless switch (the touch ones at the top of the keyboard) just quit working the other day. I can't figure out how to tell if i turned something off accidentally or what. Rebooting didn't help. The only thing I did differently that day was connect my laptop via cable and shut off the wireless. (I usually work wireless).

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo​, Radeon HD 6770M, switchable graphics, update Catalyst Control Center

    Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo
    I have installed windows 7 64 bit
    Graphics cards: Switchable Intel and Radeon HD 6770M
    So far, I have been using the graphics driver provided by HP including Catalyst Control Center, and it has been working fine.
    I recently bought a new game: Wolfenstein:New order. I fulfill minimum requirements.
    When trying to run the game, I am informed, that my Catalyst Control Center must be 14.4 or newer: Fatal error, and game cannot run.
    How can I update my Catalyst Control Center to 14.4 or newer? Both graphics cards (switchable) should be working.
    Thanks a lot in advance - This issue is really getting on my nerves!

    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that your notebooks works fine except when you try to play your new Wolfenstein New Order game, at which time it informs you that your Catalyst Control Center is out of date and must be 14.4 or higher.  You stated  installed Windows 7 64 bit.
    Have you done all your Windows updates?
    Have you ran The HP Support Assistant to aid with updating drivers and resolving issues.
    Here is a link to the latest recommended  HP driver AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver sp55092.exe for you system.
    If that does not update your current version of the Catalyst Control Center, you will need to check the AMD website.

  • Pavilion dv6 has a lighted volume on/off icon and a lighted internet on/off icon that stopped workin

    I have a pavilion dv6 that has a lighted volume on/off and scale and a lighted internet on/off icon above the keyboard that stopped working. Does anyone know how to get it to work again?

    Answered my own question on the power supply, now I will answer the questions on the battery, and the lower right hand corner having those ghost shadows, and what they actually are. To answer the battery question, I simply went, and custom made one using the current top of the line AMD 3550MX APU, and it comes with the standard 6 cell battery so that question is answered. On to the next.
         The ghosty white shadows some owners see on this model, and on others in the Pavilion line, are simply the HP logo light shining through the screen. Some like the light, some don't. I happen to like it, but as others have asked, I wish there was a way to turn it off, and on.  Ok, 3 of my questions answered by own ingenuity, lol, I think I'll start a thread specific to this model as many owners are out there as this model too, has been sold out by Best Buy, and seems to be a lone child in that there is very little, correct, info on this model. We need to band together, and answer all the questions that remain on the dv6-6b47dx model.

  • Sound Issues HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC

    Hello,
     I have HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. Recently I noticed issues with how my volume control works. I am not sure if it's an application issue (Firefox 9/10) or audio drivers. While watching playing an audio file or watching video my default playback device is set to speaker, but as soon as I plugin my headphones both headphones and speakers will go to mute. Some times disabling and re-enabling the device will solve this issue, and other than that I also have to restart Firefox to get the sound back.
     Tried installing all the available updates form windows, also reinstalled/update the sound drivers as n admin with no possible fix. Also as shown in picture below, when I try to make a Google call using Firefox I use built-in mike an headphones. During that time headphones icon will be appeared in the window shown below listed as communication device and disable both audio in/out.
    Let me know if any further information is required.
    Thanks.

    First uninstall the audio driver:
    Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager. >> Audio, video and game controlar >> right click and uninstall all values under it >> restart >> download and install the following drivers:
    BIOS
    Audio

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "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" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that has suddenly stopped playing any kind of audio. How do I fix this?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that suddenly stopped playing any kind of sound.  That's with earphones plugged in or not.  The microphone indicator in sound setup indicates that it is listening to external sound, and when I play system sounds, the speaker icon in the volume mixer indicates that the hardware thinks it is playing sounds, but nothing is coming out of the laptop at all.  I thought if it were a speaker not working internally I could fix it with earphones or external speaker but that isn't working either.  
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
    Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall.  When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'.  You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
    After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7

  • No sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

    no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us.  Speakers are not muted and volume is up.  May have happened after a system update

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
    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, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then 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 you now have audio.

  • HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej On-Screen Display not working

    Hi, I have an HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej  and I want to use the on-screen display, to see for example when the volume when I turn it up or down (also for brightness change and so..).
    I looked in the Programs and Features in Control Panel and saw I have the last version of the driver (version 1.3.5).
    I couldn't find the actual prgoram in the Start menu (I don't even know if it exists).
    I wanted to download it again so I can try uninstall and install, but the file could not be found, using this link:
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp5515​2.exe
    From here: 
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp​-pavilion-dv6-6c00-entertainment-notebook-pc-serie​...
    I don't know if it's the same driver for all the pavilion dv6 pc's.
    Also, I tried downloding the HP MediaSmart for that, but the download failed for some unknown reason.
    So, How can I turn this feature on?
    This question was solved.

    HP pavilion dv6 headphones work speakers do not. Updated drivers, ran utilities, Volume control options

    Hi Romero49,
    The next step would be to do a system factory reset. This recovery option returns all of the notebook's software to the condition it was in at the time of purchase. Any programs installed after purchase and any files you created will be removed entirely.
    Here is a document on how to perform this. Please make sure you back up all your documents and pictures before doing this.
