Qosmio X775 Volume Button Annoyance - Solved

Qosmio X775 Volume Button Annoyance Whenever using Windows Media Player (and possibly other applications), pressing a volume Up or Down button mutes the sound from the application, emits an annoying beep, then gradually, slowly increases the volume to the new level. There is no visual indicator of where the volume level is.
The net result is that the volume seems totally uncontrollable at first, until you realize how it works. But the annoyance factor never goes away. The only way to use the buttons is through multiple trial and error attempts with that loud beeping. VERY soon, you find yourself using the windows volume control and just skipping the buttons.
Is there some way to disable this 'feature', so that you can just adjust the volume until it sounds right?
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

Never mind. The fix is to disable button beeps in BIOS.

An on-screen display for volume would be nice, though.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Volume button problem that apple genius can't solve!!

Hello again.
Here is a good one for you.
the volume button in the top right of the screen is at the left hand side of your clock right??
On mine it has moved to the right and i cant get it back.
The apple store genius did not know how too get it back as she had never seen this.
It happend after i moved my clock to the screen then back to the top menu bar.
So can anybody on here help??

When you press Apple you can move items across that menu (except for a view that have fixed postions such as spotlight and account name)

Qosmio X775-q7387 shutting down by itself! I need a permanent fix, please help!

After hours of searching through the internet, this is the conclusion I came to as to why my x775 occasionally shuts down. It ran PERFECTLY up until this and i've had it about 2 years.
According to others, there is a power membrane defect with this laptop that refuses to be acknowledged by Toshiba which is heart breaking because I saved up a long time to afford this 1200 dollar machine. Loved everything about it until this....
The power button is so sensitive according to other users, that any presense, like even air will cause the button to think it's being pushed down so it shuts down as a response.
I did try this step. Take battery out and wires. Hold power button for 30 seconds. Then put battery back and wires and start up as normal. This hasn't given me a problem yet, but granted I only did this late last night.
I would hate to have Toshiba viewed in a bad light over this problem or to get rid of this machine.
But i highly doubt the above "fix" is permanent.
Is it a permanent fix? What does draining the battery even have to do with the power button issue?
Replacing the power membrane would seem to be useless if it's a defect with all models of this laptop.
I just can't believe it ran so perfectly until this. I bragged to everyone about this computer.
Now, i'm sitting here freaking out wonder how I can permanently fix this.
Please dont let me and other Qosmio users suffer Toshiba. Help us!

Can I do this "fix" myself, or at least buy the part somewhere so that someone else who is good with computers can do it for me?
This is the solution other people with this problem had.
Computer repair sent one user this message "Tested without touch panel, hdd, ram, keyboard light. Ordered new motherboard, however discovered that the computer started fine without touchpanel, seems like on/off switch is oversensitive.
Power membrane switch is replaced, and everything is checked and OK."
So- power membrane was to blame, and I guess this is just the "underneath" section of the panel of the external power, volume buttons at the top of my key board right?
"Yes my issue was resolved. They replaced the power button strip above the keyboard which has eliminated the random shutdowns. Funny thing is that they had it less than 24 hours and seems like the "failure analysis engineer" immediately knew what the problem was. I feel sorry for the uneducated who fork over money for unneeded repairs."
So, since Toshiba seems to try to make you pay 400 dollars to replace a motherboard etc. which won't fix the true problem, is there a site where I can buy the power membrane for my laptop, then take the computer and a part to a repair shop and they will do it?

LTE - Volume buttons, sound and apps

I guess this just another one of those issues that comes with having a phone OS installed on a tablet?
Using the volume buttons when on the home screen automatically adjusts the sound levels for the ringtone instead of the general volume level for like.. everything.. as it would otherwise be intended.
Also, when turning off volume completely through the shortcut button, sound from apps is still enabled.
Is there a workaround to this?
Managed to get the shortcut and volume buttons to work up to my expectations with these 2 apps.
Volume Sync Links the mute call volume to media volume as well (shortcut). Works for both mute on and off. (Free).
Volume Sync Pro Links all the different volumes together to go up and down together with ringtone volume (side buttons). Originally designed for mobiles, the UI can be a bit buggy on tablet and might not be able to select which volumes should be synced. Works well with sync all though. (Not free but relatively cheap)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found a couple of apps to enable the functionality of the shortcut and volume buttons to be as I expected, so I'm posting links here in case others stumble upon this annoyance.
Volume Sync will link the mute for call volume with media volume (shortcut). Works both for mute on and off. (FREE)
Volume Sync Pro will actively sync volume up and down for call sound through the side buttons to all the other volumes. Originally designed for phones, the options do not properly show up on the Z2 tablet, so it might be a bit complicated to choose which volumes to sync, but syncing all is relatively easy.

Qosmio X775: How do I enter BIOS?

How do I enter the BIOS?
I'm trying to enter the BIOS of my Qosmio X775 to check some settings. ESC, F1, F2, F10, F12 all take me to boot manager. My system seems to be set to fast start, so I tried ESC > F1, which also takes me to boot manager.
Thanks.
Solved!

F2 finally worked,
Maybe you pressed it before the power button? That's necessary if things are set for Fast Boot.
(Mentioning that for somebody else who might read this thread.)
F2 actually did not work for me. My Qosmio screen disappeared after I changed the boot speed from normal to fast. I'm trying to boot into the HDD Recovery, but I can't get to it via F12 anymore. I put Windows 8.1 on my Qosmio and there is no boot screen that shows up. Should I post this in a new thread, or can someone help me here?

Hp envy 6 1040EW audio volume buttons don't work

hello, i'm new to the forum
i have a problem with my HP Envy Ultrabook 1040EW with the volume buttons (f9, f10 and f11 )
they will only work when i have opened the beats audio application or i've clicked on the speaker sign
were you can slide the volume up and down.
if anyone has the answer or the same issue please reply.
Thank you very much

BartB,
Access the BIOS menu and reset the factory defaults.
1.       Shut down the laptop
2.       Restart it and tap the F10 key repeatedly
3.       It should lead you into the BIOS menu
4.       Press F9 to load defaults and then F10 to save and exit
The compuer should then restart and take you back to your main desktop screen. Once there test out those 3 keys.
Please respond back with your results.
Thanks

IdeaPad Z370 and Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit - problem with volume buttons

I recently bought my new Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 without operating system and installed Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit (the pre-installed system was FreeDOS which I decided to remove).
Nearly all is working fine. The only exception are the volume keys: pressing them does start adjusting the volume, but causes a system problem. If I press sound up, the speakers move to immediately to the maximum volume and behave as it I was continuing to press the button.
The same happens when pressing the volume down or sound off buttons. It is then not possible any more to use the keyboard or type anyting, nor change the volume using the touchpad and Ubuntu's speaker symbol. It is also not possible any more to shut down the computer using Ubuntu's virtual shutdown button, but with the real button on the computer.
The touchpad is still working and after putting the computer briefly into standby the problem is solved to the degree that it is possible to use the keyboard etc. again, and the sound volume can be adjusted again with Ubuntu's speaker symbol.
I guess this must be a driver issue that ubuntu 11.1 does not support the buttons.
As well, the one-key-theatre button and the thermal-management button do not work. Pressing them, just nothing happens (except that the light up).
I should mention that installing Ubuntu apparently deleted the partitions including the one-key recovery button. At least this key does now only work like a second power-button. Unfortunately I did not receive the User-guide with the computer but only downloaded from the internet after installing Ubuntu.
I wonder whether apart from adjusting the volume buttons, it might be possible to get the one-key-theatre button and thermal-management-button operational for ubuntu too, and whether the one-key-recovery button could work under ubuntu too. Gparted tells me that I have 2 small partitions of 3.9 GiB each, labeled "extended" and "windows swap", and one of 1.02 GiB which is not in use apart from the main drive of course.

The issue you are encountering is due to driver absence in Linux.
The driver for Linux is not available. Hope, Ubuntu new version have more applications and drivers.

Tanuj

My down volume button doesn't work. How can I fix it?

When I press the down volume button on my iPad 2 it doesn't work. It was working last night but not this morning. I didn't drop it or anything. I just got my iPad not even a year ago. How can I fix my down volume button?

Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

Try:
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
When iOS 6.1 comes out I would update.

Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work

Hello
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...

Solved.
I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
I hope it doesn't happen again.

Volume button not working with Vista Business

Anybody knows what Toshiba Software should i install to be able to use the volume button in Vista Business? I have a Qosmio G20-102. Thank you.

Hi
Are you not able change the sound volume level in Vista???
The problem is that only some single Vista drivers were published for Qosmio G20 and not all functions can be used.
But dont give up Andrej!!! There is a hope!!! Thanks to the all forum users who post proposals for solutions!!!
I found this very long but interesting and useful posting about Vista installation on Qosmio G20.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20494
The user FranciscoJr is a Vista+Qosnio G20 guru ;)
One hint; some of the items of Toshiba Value added package for the G30 can be installed on G20.
Install only the checked items. In other way you will have conflicts with windows mobility center.
Good luck

My Nokia lumia 620 top volume button got faulty, I...

My nokia lumia 620 top volume button somehow went inside the phone and I can't increase the volume, its stuck at 0! Is there any way on Windows Phone to increase the volume without the damn key? I need a solution because my warranty is in another town and I won't be there in a week.

I get the issue is annoying, but maybe you should look into getting some different shells. Besides making a fashion statement it'll fix a broken button in no time.. (well a few seconds that is).
Besides.. choice is always good.. As a Dutch national the colour for the next few days will be.. Orange..

T410 - Can not use mute and volume button.

Dear all
I have a Think pad T410. The Mute and Volume button can not work when the Windows Vista is fully loaded.
But it works in following case:
- On Ubuntu
- When Windows Vista is still loading.
I guess it's conflict with some of Thinkpad Driver or Windows update.
Did you experience it? Can you advice me how to solve it?

I would re-install the Lenovo Hotkeys software and see if that helps.
