Volume control buttons don't work for iTunes in speaker mode

Using onboard speakers (no headset on my iPhone 4S, the speaker buttons are not working.  In fact the slider ICON in missing in playing music as well as the ringer ICON that comes up when I press the buttons.
I can go into settings, Sounds and manually move the slider for Ringer and Alerts, with "Change with Buttons" set "on, I can then press the volumn buttons on the side and see the slider move up and down (right and left).  But as soon as I leave that screen and press either volumn up or down on the side, the Ringer ICON comes up but the slider part is gone.
In this case, there is no sound out of the speakers.  However "Siri" works fine.
And in phone mode, I can use speakerphone and hear audio out of the speakers.  (In fact in phone mode, speakers or headset works fine).
All other apps the speakers are inop and the volum control buttons are inop.
It's like it's in perminent "mute".

I got out my air compressor and literally blew the S* out of the docking port.  I did dock the iPhone to my car dock port as a test, played music through the car.  Then undocked and the volume control and speaker sounds all restored.
Not 100% it was cleaning the docking port or that I unwedged the software by docking into some different device.

  • Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

    Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

    Hi
    As far as I know the Toshiba Controls utility is responsible for key usage.
    Did you try to install Toshiba Controls?

  • My screen brightness control buttons don't work windows 8

    my screen brightness control buttons don't work?
    the light in the mute button is always on when NOT on mute?
    Have set up Win8 3 TIMES but get always same bug agan 
    Hope someone can help 

    Hello smarisig. I understand you are not able to control screen brightness from the keyboard on Windows 8. By chance, did you upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7? I have located an online forum that contains troubleshooting on this issue: http://thedailybuggle.com/forum/unable-control-screen-brightness-windows-8-a-200.html
    The person who posted the issue on this forum had upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and then this issue occurred. That is the reason I asked if this Windows 8 was upgraded. Regardless, follow the troubleshooting presented and it could resolve the issue for you. If not, let me know and I will continue to research the issue in the meantime. I'm only here to help!

    Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • Satellite A300-1JH PSAGLE: Control buttons don't work with XP

    Hello there.
    I own a Toshiba Satellite A300 psagle.
    It works beautifully, but there is a problem: the tactile music buttons don't work.
    I am using Windows XP and I have installed all the drivers available.
    Could some one please tell me what I should do.
    P.s. how can I activate the "face recognition" option?
    Please reply.
    Regards.

    Hi
    Regarding the Toshiba Control Media buttons;
    You have to install the Toshiba Controls from the Toshiba European driver page.
    Check there the Satellite A300 PSAG8E series and download the Toshiba Controls
    Regarding the face reorganization:

  • :*(  Form buttons don't work for all testers

    I created a form in Acrobat 9.1 using Forms> Add or Edit Fields. The form contains action buttons for next page and previous page, to clear all fields, and (with the generous help of a fellow forum member) to print the form and save it to disk. I optimized the form with compatibility set to Acrobat 8.0 and later, then enabled it for Reader. I sent this form to several users for testing.
    Those using Acrobat have no problems with it.
    Those using Foxit Reader have no problems with the action buttons or the form fields (except that date fields are finicky; Foxit doesn't convert the dates to the correct format the way Reader or Acrobat do). But, the yellow background that I created as a watermark -- so I could make it visible but not print -- is printing. That's not anything that Acrobat can help, but it is a very good reason to not recommend using Foxit. It would create a dreadful shortage of yellow inkjet ink.
    Those using Reader 8.0 to 8.1.2 are having several problems. For them, the action buttons don't work... except the "clear all fields" one. The buttons don't do anything; there are no errors, no messages, no activity of any kind except to change color when clicked.
    The buttons that don't work are all set up as Mouse Up actions executing a menu item... for example, "Go to page 2" is just View>Go To>Next Page. The "Clear all fields" button is, on Mouse Up, "Reset a form" with all fields selected... so it's the only kind of button that works for Reader users, and it's the only button that doesn't execute a menu item.
    Why is there a difference in actions these users can run? If it's a security issue... what possible risk is there in going to the next page, using a button instead of a scroll bar or Page Down key??? I can find no common sense here, especially because Reader users are the only ones barred from these form actions. Everyone else can use them.
    -- Also, these testers (Reader 8+) are having problems with the tab order. Some of the radio button groups (which have no more than three options, Yes, No and NA) at first appear to be tabbing correctly, because the Yes option receives focus in the correct order... but randomly, tabbing through several fields, suddenly the No option will get focus... in a radio button group nowhere near the current tab location. Tabbing is rendered useless, then, because these anomalies are unpredictable and it doesn't appear there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening.
    It's pointless to delete and re-add the afflicted radio buttons. That has no effect... and the radio button groups are already in the correct order anyway. I don't know how this could possibly happen... But it doesn't happen for the Foxit or Acrobat testers.
    • Why would Reader be the only app that can't use the buttons and can't tab through the fields correctly? I'd think Adobe's own software would work best with their own file format. •
    Is Reader 8 the problem --- should those users all update to the newest version? I don't have any Reader 9+ testers yet. Nobody seems interested in it. The testers all assume the problems are MY fault, so nobody's happy with me and no one wants to bother testing the forms because there's always something wrong.
    <hair-pulling> I seriously regret upgrading to Acrobat 9.1.  I know other forum members who agree this thing is catastrophically buggy -- I've wasted  weeks trying to iron out all the problems I've been having with these forms, forms that should have been quick and simple to create, and in past versions of Acrobat, would have been. Yet I'm still tearing out my hair over tab order! Worse, I fear I'm close to losing my job for all the time wasted and all the projects I've fallen behind in because of this. <no /hair-pulling in sight>

    I have no clue, but it might make a difference depending on the form being produced in Acrobat versus Designer. Acrobat will take you both places and one of them may have an issue with backward compatibility. I have not heard of that, but it is a possibility.

  • HT201401 My volume control buttons are not working on my Iphone 4s....

    but this only occurs when I don't have headphones in or I am not on a call.  If I have headphones in or if I am on a call using either the earpiece or speakerphone I have full volume control.  If I am using my phone to listen to music or anything else where there is audio the volume buttons do not work.  When I press the button the buttons the ringer icon appears on the screen but there are no bars under the icon and it doesn't move the volume.  I have tried rebooting the phone as well as blowing out the headphone port and the charging port.  My phone is updated to the latest release.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi
    Are you talking about the function buttons F1-F9?
    These buttons work in connection with FN button; i.e Fn + F5
    The Value Added Package as well as the Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility needs to be installed in order to use the flash cards (the menu on the screen showing the function buttons)
    These software parts can be downloaded here:
    http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/a660/psaw3a-07t00r/download?os=25
    Note: before you would start with new installation try to restart the flash cards: all programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards

  • Satellite A300 - multimedia LED buttons don't work if iTunes is minimized

    Hi,
    I own Satellite A300-1C9 (PSAJ4E).
    Is it possible to let the "Play/Pause", "RW" and "FF" multimedia LED buttons work even if iTunes is minimized?
    Because atm they only work if i actually working in iTunes and from the moment i minimize iTunes to taskbar it stop responding to play/pause etc!!
    Thanks,
    Jonah

    Hello Jonah
    I don't use iTunes and cannot comment buttons functionality with iTunes but what I know is that Toshiba don't offer notebooks with preinstalled iTunes and these buttons are, by default, designed to run with Windows Media Player.
    You can use these buttons with other players, if possible but Toshiba don't support functionality with any other third part application. For instance, I use these buttons with Winamp and everything works perfectly.

  • Satellite U200-128 & Vista: FN & Control buttons don't work

    I upgraded my notebook's OS from XP to Vista.
    But after I changed my OS, some functions are not operating anymore, I.E. the multimedia keys (which is located just above the keyboard, right next to the power key), and the FN keys (screen backlight dimmer, wifi key, etc).
    Can someone assist me with this?
    I've already downloaded Toshiba software made for U200 for Vista and yet I can't seem to fix it like I did with an XP OS previously.

    Hi
    You have to install the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package to get the Toshiba Control buttons functionality.
    Also the FN buttons should work after the VAP installation.
    The point is that Vista FlashCards controls the FN buttons and the FlashCards are a part of the VAP.
    I would also recommend installing the Button Support because it allows you to customize and preset TOSHIBA special button settings

  • Qosmio G40: Vista Ultimate - Control buttons don't work properly

    Hello friends,
    I have a Qosmio G40 for a few months and everything is working well till now.
    The problem is related to the front operation panel.
    If i am using Windows Media Player, the buttons PLAY/STOP/PAUSE/FORWARD/BACKWARD work well, but if i try to use (in any case) the other buttons like REC or TURN LEDS ON or DOLBY, the button makes the usual sound but nothing happens, doesn't open any program that is supposed to open.
    Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening. I've been trying to look for any configuration software of these buttons but can't seem to find any.
    My system is Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Best Regards,
    Ricardo Monteiro

    Hi
    The Toshiba European driver page provides the AV Controller Manager.
    This tool allows you to customize and preset TOSHIBA AV Control button settings.
    Maybe you should install this tool and should check it again.
    Additionally it would be advisable to reinstall the VAP
    Check it out!

  • Equium P300 - Control buttons don't work running Win XP

    Hi I am looking for some help with a problem with a Equium P300 laptop,
    This is my brother's laptop, he bought it about 18 months ago, it came with Vista, he didn't want this as he preferred to have XP so I changed the operating software to XP using the drivers available on Toshiba's website to update to the correct drivers.
    This has worked fine for the last 18 months however recently when the laptop is turned off, the touch sensitive hotkeys stay illuminated, even when unplugged from the power source, and do not function.
    Previously if it has been turned off and you push one of the hotkeys the laptop would turn on but it is no longer doing this.
    I am wondering if anyone has had experience of this previously?
    Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem or even what is causing the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

    Hi
    In you are using Win XP on this notebook, then you should update the BIOS because there is an special BIOS for Win XP!
    Furthermore the Toshiba Multimedia Control buttons are controlled by Toshiba Controls tool. You can download it from the Toshiba driver page.
    Regarding the illumination buttons;
    As far as I know you can enabled and disable this in BIOS itself!
    Check the BIOS settings,

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A200-1ZF with Vista installed originally.
    I removed Vista and install XP. And then installed all drivers and almost everything is working but those keys (power,www,mediaplayer,play,stop,back,next) on the upside of notebook don't work. :/
    Only power work properly ...sometimes www and mediaplayer, but rest of it doesn,t work at all.
    I have Windows Media Player 9 series. I don't know if it is problem with my drivers or windows media version or something else..
    please help..

    Hi
    Satellite A200-1ZF belongs to the PSAE6E series.
    Choose this series in the Toshiba European driver download form.
    There you will find a XP BIOS. If you are using Win XP on this notebook then you have to update the BIOS to the XP version!
    Furthermore you have to install the Toshiba Controls v. 2.48.2.2C.
    This tool is needed to get the Toshiba Media buttons working!

  • My screen gets dim and the brightness control buttons don't work

    My screen is frequently dim.  The brightness control buttons display that they are working, but the brightness doesn't actually change.  Any ideas why and what I can do?

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Actually, I had tried that but still had to go into preferences any time I wanted it brighter.  After I posted, I found a thread using some different keywords and found that people were having the same problem with OS versions up to 10.7.2 but solved it with the latest update (10.7.3).  I just installed it and now seem to be able to adjust the brightness with my keyboard no problem.  I appreciate your reply anyway!
