Tecra P5 - Volume control doesnt work properly

Hi
Since upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit I can't turn the volume all the way down by using the volume control at the front of the notebook. Worked fine under Vista 32 bit.
The volume control still works but no matter how far I wind it to the left there is still sound coming from the speakers.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Warren

As far as I know volume control in the past was mechanical but now it works on different way and it is controlled by specific tool/utility.
To be honest Tecra P5 is not known to me but obviously it is Australian notebook model and according to Australian support page this notebook model is not supported for Windows 7.
That doesnt mean you cannot use it but this means there is not software package designed for Windows 7 that can be installed so I think there is no much you can do about it.
I know it is annoying but for volume control you can use Windows option placed in task bar.

  • Volume controls stopped working properly for my LED Display

    The volume controls stopped working properly for my LED Display (Mac Pro OS-X 10.6.8).  The sliders go up and down, and the clicks are audible, but the sound levels remain the same.  The internal speaker sound settings/controls are working properly.  I tried restarting to no avail.

  • Volume control doesnt work through headphones.....

    hello
    i have a iphone 3gs, and i am using the headphones i got with the phone,
    the problem im having is, the volume control on the headphones dont work, the middle button works, like i can change songs and pause, but for some reason i cant up or down the volume through the headphones, i have done it before through the headphones but now they dont work,
    is there something i need to do? like any settings or is it a fault in the headphones!!
    please help meeeeeee!!!

    Plug the headphones in and out a few times while a song or something is playing. This has worked a few times for me. If this doesn't work then turn the iPhone off and back on. This will more than most likely fix your problem.
    Make sure you are on the most current firmware. If this doesn't fix it then you could back up your data and then do a restore. Still nothing ... make an appointment with Apple to look at it. Good Luck!

    Have you went to Bose"s support site?
    Sometimes this works
    - 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.             
    However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update.

  • Replace content smart objects doesnt work properly.

    Hello fellow Photoshoppers,
    Currently i am working on reusable album templates with smart objects. At first i was very enthusiastic but this was soon to end. as the replacing doesnt work properly.
    I made the smart object by using:
    1. > file
    2. > place
    then i try to replace the content by using.
    1. > layer
    2. > smart objects
    3. > replace contents
    the old image should get replaced by the chosen file and matching size, smart layers etc. However when i perform the same actions my image gets replaced but it is not the same size as the smart object it replaced. This makes the entire template useless as it would take far too much time resizing every single image. inspired by another video I also tried double clicking the layer and tried replacing the image in the editing sceen by dragging another file on top of the smart object. Again, it does not spread out to the full smart object size and i'm stuck with a small image in need of extra work.
    Needless to say, very frustrating.
    Any thoughts?

    Are you sure you understood how it is intended work?
    That is an interesting question, i have no experience with photoshop as i bought CS5,5 just a week ago and have no experience with any of the previous versions either. All info regarding how to make such a template i found from various tutorials, i posted one below. When they do it the image get scaled perfectly. Now since they use some smart filters in the tutorial i applied them aswell to see if this would fix the problem but it did not.
    http://www.picturesocial.com/video/wedding-photo-album-templates
    Are the images you want to switch in at least always of the same width to height-relation?
    I checked both files for consistency and discovered they were shot on different camera's. One file ( the origional smart object ) was cropped form a 21,0MP file and the other was croped from a 10,1 MP file. Both images were cropped to a 2x1 ratio. Having discovered the difference in pixel amount i cropped a different 21,0 MP file to 2x1 ratio and checked both files for their exact dimensions (both images are equal in size with 5616 x 2808 pixels) and replaced the content with the newly cropped file which gave a much better result. However, the image was slightly smaller in photoshop leaving a small gap where the origionally placed smart object lined up perfectly. I turned the situation around and placed the 10,1MP cropped image as the smart object and replaced the content by a 21,0 MP cropped image. As to be expected i ended up with a new image much larger then the smart object. So the smart object does not constrain the files to the dimensions set. As it turns out it only scales the replaced content relative to the size of the origional content of the smart object.
    I just need a reusable template with objects that:
    - cannot be moved once locked ( if possible) but can have its content replaced
    - scales the replaced content to the predefined dimensions
    - needs no prework like cropping to the same aspect ratio as the smart object content. ( i want to be able to place a landscape sized raw (3x2) on any landscape format  (2x1 / 16x9 / 4x3 or whatever) i find it acceptable to having to crop a portret to landscape orientation first before being able to replace a landscape.
    now ive been searching for more info and some people say indesign is much faster in making album pages so I am installing the program as we speak hoping this will be the solution.

  • Ejecting external discs doesnt work properly, no spin down of disc. why?

    ejecting my external discs doesnt work properly anymore in 10.6, no spin down of disc happens, the finder unmounts the disc(s) and then the disc spins on and on. thats weird, because, in 10.5 i ejected discs and then they went spinning down the drive, as it has to be.
    when i unplug the disc, which is unmounted from desktop, and still spinning, it makes a terrible noise in the disc. like a high pitched short tone.
    any idea whats going wrong here?
    thanks!

    you probably mean "causing the fail to spindown"
    you maybe mean software like techtoolpro5 or drive genius3?
    yes i disabled these helper apps on the discs, but first i used it (like monitoring
    all discs if they are nearly full, or working s.m.a.r.t and so on. yes its useful,
    but obviously it causes problems. i must mention, that i tested my 4 external drives again,
    and i found out that i can eject all discs, like said before, but only 2 of the discs are spinning down, after ejecting, BUT only when i use the button "eject" in harddisctoolkit, they dont spin down, when ejecting from desktop (apple+E), and the other 2 of the 4 drives refuse to spin down, after ejecting, even with pressing eject in harddisctoolkit....
    i can also state, that these 2 discs, which refuse to spin down, are FW800/400 discs and connected via FW800. and the 2 discs which spin down succesfully are UBS2 discs, if thats worth mentioning...

  • Geforce 295GTX doesnt work properly.

    I've bought a new 295GTX MSI. I uninstalled my previuos video card drivers, plugged in the new card. Everything boots up wel but once in windows Vista it detects the new hardware but could not recognize it. I installed the Nvidia drivers, they install fine but it's like it doesnt detect the card either. When i go and look to the properties its still using the default vista vga drivers. When I look at the properties there are only questionmarks at the brand name, chipset,... .
    I reinstalled Vista but i still get the same bug. Tried it in Windows 7, still the same bug.
    Tried it in another computer, still the doesnt work.
    P.S.: All power cables are properly connected.
    What can I do?

    Hi Hansie! Give this a try; In 'Change or Remove Programs' (not sure if it is called that in Vista), Uninstall NVIDIA PhysX (if installed), NVIDIA Performance (if installed), NVIDIA Drivers - NVIDIA Display Driver only. Install NVIDIA Ver. 181.22 (use Aaron's link), & reboot, install NVIDIA Utility Package Ver. 6.03. In the NVIDIA Control Panel - 3D Settings - Set Multi GPU & PhysX - 'Enable' PhysX & Multi GPU Mode. Hopefully that fixes everything.

  • DV9700 Volume Controls not working after motherboar​d replacemen​t

    I have a HP Pavilion DV9702ea, which I've had for just over two years now. It worked absolutely fine for me in every way since I got it until about one month ago when I installed some software that required me to restart Windows. The laptop shutdown but did not restart. I tried to switch it back on but it would not work - when I pressed the power button the power light would blink for perhaps half a second but that was it. After some internet searching I ascertained that this is a symptom of a common problem with these laptops and that it suggested that the GPU had failed, which meant I needed a new laptop.
    So I ordered a new laptop using the model number shown on the sticker near the RAM ports. It arrived and I installed it. Now my laptop is fully working again - all except for the volume controls. On the control panel above the keyboard, all of the QuickPlay keys (Q, DVD, previous, Play/Pause, next and stop) are illuminated but the volume control keys (mute, - and +) are not. I have Windows Vista installed with the correct audio driver and it does not respond to me pressing these keys, so it's not just that they're not lit up, they're not working at all.
    I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this - as far as I'm concerned it should not be a software issue, because these keys are supposed to be illuminated from power-on, so even without a hard drive or an operating system installed these keys should be lit up. Nevertheless I've tried making sure all the audio, QuickPlay, QuickLaunch and QuickTouch drivers are up to date and have tried alternate drivers for all of them. I've checked the cable leading from the motherboard to the controls - it appears to be intact, but I even ordered a replacement just in case and that has made no difference. I've extensively Googled the problem and the most promising fix that I could find (that is repeated on these forums several times) was to power off the laptop, remove the mains adapter and battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds to discharge any static and then power on again. I've tried that a few times and it has not fixed the problem in my case.
    So I'm at a loss now. My last resort will be to return the motherboard for a replacement, but that will obviously be a lot of hassle for me as I'll have to strip down the laptop to remove it and I'll be without a working laptop for a day or so. And then, if it's not a motherboard fault, I'll have put a lot of effort into not getting anywhere. So is there anything else I should try?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have this issue before, in my case, its ribbon cable issue. dv9000 have two ribbon cables the one that have broken is the long one, (connect mobo to switch panel). However there is other possibility that the switch panel also broken.
    Try buying the ribbon cable first, it is much cheaper compared to switch panel.

  • Satellite L300-147- Manual volume control not working

    The manual volume control on the laptop is no longer working. If I try to adjust the volume (on the right the headphone plug-ins)- I just keep scrolling. As a result, I can only watch DVD on a really low volume level. I have adjusted volume control under "control panel" to the maximum level.
    Any ideas to fix this please?

    Hello
    > The scroll for volume control on the laptop keeps scrolling on empty (it can't reach the end)
    Believe me buddy, this is absolutely normal.
    I have Satellite L300 too and I can still scroll the volume control although the sound is on lowest level (I can see this in Windows sound properties).
    To be honest I didnt have any notebook as yet where the volume control ends on a certain point.

  • Volume control not working after I plug in speakers or headphones

    When I turn on my 13 inch with Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or if I restart it, my volume works perfectly. However, whenever I plug in earphones or speakers the volume will be 'stuck' on the loudest it can go. When I use the volume controls on my keyboard or the slider at the top menu bar, it will make the clicking sound as if the volume is going up or down and will show the white speaker with the volume being adjusted but the volume will stay on the loudest possible setting. Even after I unplug my speakers/headphones the volume will continue to not work. There is no red light coming from the headphone jack and since it works upon startup, I'm inclined to think it's a software issue and not a hardware issue but then again, I don't know the first thing about computers. Since this has started, I've looked online for similar problems or suggestions but nobody has had this exact same issue, but I did follow the suggestions for similar issues. I repaired the disk (I could only do it for the Macintosh but I am running bootcamp with windows on the other side but I've used it maybe once for a pc only program and have never run the internet on it so I doubt the problem is coming from that side). It repaired a bunch of stuff but it didn't fix my issue. I also reset the PRAM and the NVRAM (I don't know what this does, but someone suggested it so I gave it a shot) and it did nothing. If you have a suggestion for something I can do, please be detailed, or point me to detailed instructions because my computer knowledge is very limited but I'm willing to work to fix this. Thank you!

    Make an appointment at the Genius bar at the Apple store.
