Volume adjust refuses to work unless FN is pressed

I didn't start having this problem until a week or so ago. My volume refuses to work unless FN is pressed while f9 or f10 is as well. That or I have to open the function key app and then it will work without the key.
I have windows 8 and my model is the satellite s855-s5378

Try checking the UEFI settings for a function key mode setting. Most models have a toggle that allows you to choose wheter you want to have to hold down the FN key to access the "special" keys or hold down the FN key to access the F# keys. Try switching it.

I updated to maverick, and maybe it's a coincidence but my left shift key doesn't work unless i really press it down. Is there any way to fix this without bringing it into the Genius Bar?

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

Flash Trial when newly downloaded refuses to work unless I pay?

I downloaded a trial version to test it (And so I'd have flash at home, I need to finish off a big project for monday) and It won't open unless I get a License and it doesn't give me the option to continue trial - though I've only just downloaded it so the trial isn't up? Why is that?

when you install you're offered to license or use the trial. if you select trial and see a message that the trial is expired, there's nothing easy to do to regain the trial, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/trial-software-expired-early.html

AD-41 headset volume adjustment sensitivity too hi...

Hi! I own Nokia 3250 and what's really annoying me is the headset's volume adjustment. It works terrible ! The sensitivity of buttons is so high that it's very difficult to change volume only one level up or down. I don't know if it applies only to this model, but I checked it on N70 and it worked fine. When the button is pressed, volumes goes one level up, then short pause and then up again. That's how it should work! But now there're no pauses, it changes so quickly that I can't adjust volume accurately when i'm in move. My firmware is 3.24. Maybe it's fixed in 4.14 ? I wish it is, otherwise I won't upgrade my phone, I don't want to lose high sound volume.
Has someone similar observations ?

He is not telling the truth. The headset is faulty.

Itunes volume adjust doesn't take in ipod

i ripped an audio book on my imac because the optical drive on my powerbook stopped working. then i moved the audio book over to my powerbook and put it on my ipod. the volume was too soft so i adjusted it in itunes and resynched.
there was really no change except that on my ipod, when i turn up the volume, the volume stops increasing when the volume slider is about halfway across the screen. the slider keeps moving, but the volume stops increasing.
what can i do? any thoughts? help!!

No, I'm in Australia. Itunes 'volume adjustment' USED to work...but it *doesn't* anymore...;/??
I even updated the latest itunes...but still *nothing*

Volume buttons don't work on iPhone4S

Suddenly my plus and minus volume buttons do not work. When I press them the 'ringer' icon appears but with no increasing or decreasing white squares when moving the volume up or down. Also, no sound when listening to music or watching videos, yet when I plug in my headphones or play through a bluetooth speaker the sound works perfectly. The phone still rings when someone calls, and when I recieve a text message I still hear a notification. The switch at the side of the phone is not on silent and I have tried every type of reset on the phone without success.
Please tell me there is a solution to this problem! I have tried blowing into the headphone jack and also the charging slot to check for dust and other obstructions. I miss my sound!

I have this same issue. Although I will add some more detail.
When I reboot my phone and enter the passcode I get the clicks and the normal sounds and for a few seconds I can use the + and - to adjust the ringer volume and then the white volume squares dissapear as with mrRobinsons post and I get nothing.
I can also go into sound options in settings and use the plus and minus keys to adjust the ringer volume in the sound screen. Although I must move the volume slider on the screen for this to happen.
Any assistance appreaciated.

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.
Since this thread has two issues, I'm going to start a new one with only the music control bug. Topic: iOS 7 Control Center Music Controls Not Working On iPhone 4s

Volume and the volume buttons dont work unless headphones plugged in. Why?

my iPad's volume buttons dont work unless i have my headphones plugged in. Also my volume in general doesnt work because it says its still connected to a dock, but i dont own a dock. why doesnt the volume work or the speaker.

finally i found solution ... it was finger print device and i dont know what is the relation between finger print and sound problem any way the solution is installing the latest fingerprint definition and i found sound working properly !!

Volume adjustment option does not work when ipod is in cradle?!

I have my entire mp3 collection "mp3-gained" to get a balanced volume level in all my songs. As this does not work for purchased songs from the itunes store I adjusted the volume levels of these songs significantly down using the volume adjustment option in itunes. This works perfectly fine when listening over headphones, but when I put the ipod in the cradle or in a jbl Radial the purchased songs scream at me like crazy while the others keep a moderate volume level. So obviously the dock output is controlled differently then the ear phones output?! Is there a way to get the same volume control over the dock output?
ipod 80GB

Nope! Neither nor!
I initially used soundcheck but I was not satisfied with the quality. So I used the already existing mp3gain tags (that worked perfectly with my rockboxed IRiver) and used mac mp3gain to change the files to a balanced level. This meant I had to switch off soundcheck as it still kept the old (and now wrong) results.

Volume adjustment for videos DOES NOT WORK.

When you right-click->Get Info->Options on a VIDEO and change the Volume Adjustment slider, it has no effect. Works for music files, but not videos.
Is this a known bug/issue?

The problem is that I want certain videos to play louder on my iPod. I can always turn my computer speakers up louder, but the volume on iPod only goes up so high...

My volume button's no longer working unless headphones are used

Hi all
The last couple of days, my volume button no longer works (it brings up the ringer box on display, but volume is unchangeable) and the ipod volume slider has disappeared from the screen. I can change the volume in settings, but no sound is being played through the internal speakers when used as an ipod (headphones work fine and volume buttons work with headphone). I still have internal speakers working when a phone call is received or an alarm sounds.
I've tried restoring from backup and hard resets, but neither of these things worked. No new software has been installed since the most recent backup so I'm at a loss what to try next so hoping someone has some suggestions

Thanks Deeco, I tried cleaning the headphone jack but that didn't fix it for me (although I'm not sure leaving it on a radiator all night would generally be a good thing so I didn't try that!!
But I have fixed it though
After the headphone jack cleaning didn't fix it, I cleaned out the charger/docking station connector with a plastic toothpick by running it very gently and carefully either side of the strip of pins - and got out a couple of rather large lumps of fluff - and this seems to have fixed the problem for me.
Hope this helps others fix theirs.

1ST GENERATION I-PHONE RINGER DOESNT WORK VOLUME ADJUSTMENT WORKS BUT NO SO

HELP RINGER DOESNT WORK VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS SHOWS IT WORKS BUT NO SOUND HELP

Hi dolster,
Do you see a red dot on the side of the iPhone?
The iPhone will not ring if the Ring/Silent switch shows a red dot.
If the issue is not because of the Ring/Silent switch, try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

No audio AND no volume adjustment available. Why?

No audio AND no volume adjustment available. Why?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Slideshow audio volume adjustment

Help! I can't seem to adjust the audio volume of the audio file on a slideshow project. The audio volume on playback is always the same whether I slide the volume adjustment to the maximum or down to zero. On playback the audio volume is always the same. I need to lower this volume because it drowns out the narration part of the slideshow. How do you do this??
Thank You!

I have come across this problem but I’m not sure I have a solution, perhaps only a work-around.
I have managed to save a slideshow from PSE as a WMV file on my hard drive.
Opening the WMV file with Windows Movie Maker (sorry if you are on a MAC) does allow the volume of the background track to be adjusted whilst also having a primary (Commentary) audio track.
