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
Regards,
DP-K.

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.

When I am on a call and I come to hang up, the phone which when to my ear has a black screen, starts to light up then blacks out intermittently and in the brief moments it is lit up, the hang up button doesn't work unless I press home or lock buttons firs

When I am on a call and I come to hang up, the phone which when to my ear has a black screen, starts to light up so I can see and click the hang up button, but it then blacks out intermittently and in the brief moments it is lit up, the hang up button doesn't work unless I press the home or lock buttons first

Wow- thanks Jim! I removed the case and voila... it worked. Knock on wood that you solved my problem with such an incredibly simple solution. I'll find out where this proximity sensor is and make sure my case does not interfere with it.
Thanks so much.

HT1430 How do I restart an Iphone 3GS when the sleep/wake button doesn't work?

I have an Iphone 3GS which I have to restart. But the sleip/wake button doesn't work. What can I do to get it restarted then?

If the iPhone is on and working, one way is to Reset Network Settings. Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

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.

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.

HT1430 How do you turn off your phone if the sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

How do you turn off your phone if your sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

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.

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.

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?
Solved!

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..

The down volume buttons doesn't work on my iPhone

My down volume button doesn't not work on my iPhone 5. What can I do to fix it

Thanks, daniel.early79!
I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

I have Adobe Elements 13 on a Apple Mac Air. The color switch button doesn't work sometimes

I have elements 13 on an apple mac but the color switch button sometimes doesn't work.

It probably can't be turned on at all. I suspect that your liquid damage has finally died a corrosion death on your logic board.
All you can do at this point is take the machine into your local Apple Store/AASP and have them diagnosis the problems and give you an estimate for repair.

HT201263 Ok so that answers my question how to restore her phone and I realize she will lose all information, which is fine..but what if the sleep/wake button doesn't work?

So I have the directions to restore her old phone and realize her info will be lost..ok..but how can I restore it if her sleep/wake button is not working?

You can back up your phone to itunes on the computer before restoring so that data wont be lost. Once the phone if saftely backed up you click on the "iphone" section to find her phone details. There is a button that says "restore". CLick on it and the phone will restore
