Volume buttons stop working after wake from sleep

I have a Pavilion dm4-1162us. The volume buttons do not work after the notebook wakes from sleep. It works initially from a normal startup. A restart will also resolve the issue. The quicklaunch buttons are the default buttons, that is it is set so the "fn" button needs to be used to use the function "f1, f2, f3, etc." keys.

Welcome to Windows. Some devices do not like to be put to sleep in Windows.
There could be driver updates or hot fixes from MS to fix these.
A very proven method (though not for battery life) is to instruct the devices not to go to sleep when the system goes to sleep. You can do this via the device manager in the control panel.
Its not a gracious solution but it will do what you want it to do.

  • USB devices not working after wake from sleep on WinXP!!! HELP PLEASE!

    I would like to put my windows xp to sleep whenever I leave the macbook pro for fear of overheating too much when I'm not using it.
    The only problem is that I can't use any more USB devices if I plug them in once I wake it from sleep.
    Like my mouse for example, I'm using a laser mouse with a usb plugin but it doesn't respond once I try to use it after WinXP on wake....
    Experiencing a ton of wake problems lately...
    Sleep is important for a MBP....I hope...

  • Macbook Air (mid-2011) Facetime HD Camera stops working after waking from sleep

    Hi, for the past week or so (no more than a week), my computer has not been able to connect to my built-in camera. I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air (running version 10.7.5) and a Facetime HD Camera (version 6.46). I don't usually restart my computer unless I am having issues with it being slow or freezing and so usually just close the top of my laptop when I am sleeping or at work. When I wake my computer up and attempt to use Skype, Photobooth, or Facetime, I cannot connect to the camera. Restarting my computer fixes this issue but that's as far as I've gotten since I am not very tech savvy and do not want to do anything to jeopardize the data and documents stored on my Air (I'm in school so losing anything would be very stressful for me). I have gone into the System Information in my Utilities folder and my camera is listed under the USB tab but my computer refuses to connect unless I restart it.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  • My on/off button and volume buttons stopped working.

    For no apparent reason, the on/off button and volume buttons stopped working. iPod touch 4th gen with 4.3.3 installed.

    You can try a couple of things.
    First a hard reboot: hold the sleep/wake and home button down until the unit shuts off and boots back up to the Apple screen.
    Second restore the device py plugging it into iTunes and under the device summary screen click restore. You want to restore from backup to make sure all your info is synced back to the iPod at the end. Depending on how much stuff is on there this can take a while.
    Thrid, take it to the Apple Store and have a Genius look at it. Depending you how bussy your local Apple store is you probably want to make a reservation first.

  • BUG: Sandisk USB flash drive in "half-mounted" state after wake from sleep

    My Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB Flash Drive is left in a half-mounted state after wake from sleep. The Finder believes the drive is still mounted, the icon is on the Desktop. However opening a file on the drive, or trying to eject the drive, results in a long beach ball, followed by a message that I removed the drive without Ejecting it first. The same drive continues to work fine on my Tiger machine, and on PCs.
    Bug Report:
    Setup:
    Macbook 1st Gen (2.0 Ghz)
    Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Clean Install
    Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB USB Flash Drive (in either port)
    Repro:
    Plug in the drive.
    Close the MacBook to put it to sleep
    Reopen the MacBook
    Result:
    The lights on the flash drive never light back up after wake from sleep. Navigating the drive, or trying to eject it results in a "you removed the device without ejecting it first" message.
    Expected:
    Drive should still be mounted and accessible after waking back up.

    It may be a design flaw in the device. Mac OS X does a lot more power management than most other OSes, including tearing devices down to little or no power during sleep. It is possible that the device simply misbehaves due to corrupted memory state or reports a substantially different GUID or something similarly bizarre upon wake. (Okay, that last one wouldn't technically be a power management issue....)
    If it doesn't have any problems except when sleeping the system, I would just make sure I unmounted it before putting the machine to sleep and wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check with Sandisk to see if they have a firmware updater for the device.

  • Volume buttons stopped working

    Since updating to 2.0 the volume buttons stopped working. I'm not sure what happened as my playbook has never been dropped or damaged. I keep it in a case that protects it very well. The buttons do not indicate the volume changing when pressed so I have to use the slider in the music app to turn up or down.
    Anyone else have or heard of this problem? My playbook is only 2 months old.
    Thanks

    I just got my PlayBook back from "repair" and my volume buttons don't work, the camera doesn't work, and when I go to pictures it doesn't work either. I don't know what to do, this hard reboot things doesn't work and my warranty has run out about now. But if they send it back and it's still an overpriced paperweight, shouldn't they take it in again and fix it proper? I used to be proud RIM was a Canadian company, now I'm just ashamed...

  • Left USB-Port dead after wake from sleep. Just restart helps.

    I hoped Apples keyboard-Update today would solve my biggest hate-bug in this buggy POS called Leopard. It didn't.
    As usual on my Leopard-Macbook Pro, no device will work on the left USB-Port after I waked the computer from sleep. Just a restart helps. I hoped this update to solve this, because it replaced among others "IOUSBFamily.kext".
    Terminal gives a timeout error for the internal USB-Hub after wake from sleep. I assumed this should be related.
    I'm really angry now.
    When will Apple solve the most urgent problems in Leopard?
    Was 10.5.1 just smoke and mirrors to make (fool people into...) people upgrade who intended to wait until the first maintenance-update?
    Was Leopard Apples attempt to make Windows-Users more comfortable by putting in some heavy extra-bugs and blue screens?
    FIX IT FINALLY! And f... don't wait for Macworld to release 10.5.2. It's desperately needed and the current state of Leopard will leave some people very sad at christmas after getting their first Mac. First impression counts and many more peoples first contact with the Mac will be at christmas...

    Apple knows the problem and for some reason they are stumped on fixing it. this is so bad I can't believe it. On my macbook pro with Leopard installed, USB left port is dead after sleep. Only restarting can power it back up. I have to restart every day to use my external hard drive for time machine or when putting my flash drive in the port.
    Come on already Apple. This is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS problem.
    Fix it.

  • My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

    My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero.  I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
    I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

    Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
    When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found

    B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

  • Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

    windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
    the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
    anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

    The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
    VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

    What you are describing sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue.  Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local apple retail store and have the device evaluated.
