Volume control help for OS X

So, I have a Macbook Pro. I'm not sure what's happened, but I'm no longer able to control or mute my volume by the F10, 11, & 12 keys. I have to manually go to my system settings to control the volume. I'm also not seeing this red light others say they see when it happens to them. I'm shut the computer down, run my headphones in and out a number of times, etc, and I'm just at a loss for what else to do. Any ideas?

Try a smc reset

You can also try a pram reset: power off, power on holding the following keys: option command,P,R(no commas), continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times. Release and rebot.
Hope some help.

Need volume control switch for Satellite U200

Where can I obtain a new volume control switch for a PLUA1E-00700JEN?
I do not want the complete board only the switch.

Contact nearest authorized service provider. Make a call and ask if they can order this small part for you.
Do you want to exchange it alone?
Have you already disassembled your notebook?

Creating a Volume Control Bar for multiple audio files

I'm fairly new to Flash and am developing a project with a
series of frames that contain unique movie clips. Each of these
frames are accessible through a chapter based menu as well as being
viewable straight through as a regular movie. I've just added the
audio for each "chapter" / frame that are all unique from one
another. I'm having a problem with creating a volume control bar
that will affect all audio throughout all frames from the single
control bar on the general skin/interface that these chapters work
out of. (Using Flash 8)
I developed a sliding control bar, which works but does not
affect the volume in any way. Is there something wrong with the
following coding that I'm using? (The control bar is made up of a
button nested in a movie clip and the action is being applied to
the mc. The bar/line to follow is 60px long and the control is to
move horizontally while the increase corresponds to increase in
volume. The original code was for a 100px line from a macromedia
tutorial that I adjusted to be 60px) Any advice on best practice
for creating a volume control bar would be greatly appreciated! (I
currently have all of my corresponding audio files on separate
layers, should I be placing these within a mc rather than just
having them on the main timeline?) Thank You!!!!

Answering my own question.....
Each individual swf has the code...
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("someSound.mp3", true);
my_sound.setVolume(50);
Code on Shell/main slide....
//SOUND OBJECT
var soundtrack:Sound = new Sound;
soundtrack.setVolume(50);
//END OF SOUND OBJECT
//GLOBAL VOLUME CONTROL
var nVolCheck:Number;
volSlider.volBall.onPress = function():Void {
this.startDrag (false, 0, 0, 75, 0);
nVolCheck = setInterval(updateVolume, 150);
volSlider.volBall.onRelease = function():Void {
this.stopDrag ();
clearInterval(nVolCheck);
function updateVolume():Void {
var vol:Number = (volSlider.volBall._x)*2;
soundtrack.setVolume(vol);
//END OF GLOBAL VOLUME CONTROL
my bar is 75 pixels in width and the volume is being
increased by 1.5 at its maximum.

Is there a volume control specific for Facetime?

I'm wondering if there is a way to control the volume of Facetime without using the main volume control (like how you can control the volume of Skype within the application itself). Some kind of separate application or tweek?
Thank you.

No, there is no audio volume control specifically designed for the Facetime application. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 here but I'm sure this info also applies to your osx. You'll find that Facetime is not nearly as sophisticated as skype, at this point in time.

[ SOLVED ] Volume control icon for Openbox ?

Hello, everybody
Can anybody recommend or simply suggest some kind of volume control which can be added to tray ( i.e., clickable icon with a pop-up volume bar ) ?
I have been looking for this all over the net ( Google ) with no success.
Thanks in advance!

I use the mouse wheel to adjust volume. If you have alsa-utils installed, there is no need to install any other packages. Just edit your rc.xml file to include the following:
<mouse>
<context name="Desktop">
<mousebind button="Left" action="Click">
<action name="Execute">
<command>amixer sset Master toggle</command>
</action>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="S-Right" action="Click">
<action name="Execute">
<command>amixer sset Master unmute</command>
</action>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="S-Up" action="Click">
<action name="Execute">
<command>amixer sset Master,0 1+</command>
</action>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="S-Down" action="Click">
<action name="Execute">
<command>amixer sset Master,0 1-</command>
</action>
</mousebind>
</context>
</mouse>
To use this, just move your mouse cursor to the desktop (not on any window), press the shift key and then the mouse wheel will adjust the volume. A left button click on the desktop will toggle mute/unmute and a shift-right click will unmute.
I use the mouse wheel to change workspaces, that is why I use shift-wheel to change volume. You could use the wheel (instead of shift-wheel) to change volume by doing
<mousebind button="Up" action="Click"> ... </mousebind>
<mousebind button="Down" action="Click"> ... </mousebind>

Volume control disabled for some tracks?

trying to set the volume of specific tracks (i find soundcheck to be helpful but doesn't solve all problems). i select a track, click "get info", "options" and then adjust the volume. problem is, for some tracks the volume adjustment slider is greyed out and therefore i can't use it.
why is this??
thanks!

I am having problems with an older ipod running 1.1.2 firmware trying to use earbuds with volume controls made for ipod. any suggestions?

I am problems with an older Ipod classic running 1.1.2pc using earbuds with Ipod inline remote. The earbuds work fine with my new Ipod but not the older one. Any suggestions?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.
btabz
I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Volume Control Help!

Hi guys. Can anybody tell me how i can increase or decrease the volume when i am playing my mp3s using jmf?
Appreciate it.

Here is a quick example.
'volume' in the code below is a JSlider.
GainControl gain = player.getGainControl();
gain.setLevel((volume.getValue()) * 0.3f);

Is there a widget for Volume Control for HTML5 projects

Is there a Volume Control widget for HTML5 projects in Captivate 8? How does articulate do it?
Is there a 3rd party Volume Control widget?

Hi there
"Adobe Captivate will need to change to complete."
I'm assuming here you meant to type "compete". But that's the nature of any upgrade, no? I'm sure that Captivate will change.
For what it's worth, I was toying with creating a simple audio player. Captivate does offer a way to increase the volume and decrease the volume using Advanced Actions. It works for SWF output. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work when Captivate produces HTML 5. I didn't test with Responsive output.
Cheers... Rick

3.1 Volume Control Strangeness

After docking/undocking my Touch the volume is turned all the way down. This happens even when iTunes isn't running. If I dock the touch w/ the volume control displayed, the volume control disappears for a second and then reappears and it's just a fraction above off. When I undocked it the volume control auto-adjusts to off.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Message was edited by: Dunkin'

I did further troubleshooting and isolated the problem to the iPod's interaction with the dock itself. When I use the cable without the dock the volume doesn't reset. The dock is the last generation (came out about the time of the 5th gen iPod classic). I have a brand new dock that I will try next.
I also found that turning off, then back on the keyboard clicks in the settings makes them audible again. If the new dock doesn't fix the issue it will be very annoying to have to reset the volume and keyboard click every time. Simply not using the dock would work, but is an unacceptable workaround.

'Video' in Volume Control?

Hey everyone.. just wondering if anyone knows what the "Video" slider in the Volume Control is for... I've had it since i first installed this board.. I have a MSI GF4-Ti440-VTD, so it does do VIVO, but not sure if that has anything to do with it..
Any ideas?

Richard: Alright, but since the audio is part of the motherboard, and the video card has no audio features that i know of, i figured it was the audio on the mobo that was giving me this mysterious volume slider...
Anyone else have it?

I need help with voice memo and volume control

I really dislike to update my iphone's software. I have Iphone 4S and I have been using voice memo to record lectures for sometime.
It was working well till updated my Iphone's software (IOS or whatever that is). Now I can't transfer my voice memo to my computer
and I have tried so many things people have suggested online which are 1. restart my mac book, 2. turn off and on my Iphone 3.
check voice memo when syncing my iphone with macbook. It is not working. Also, I totally messed my volume control. I went to
Genuis bar and the lady who helped told me that my Iphone has some issues before which is making my Iphone go nuts.
In short, 1. I cannot sync my voicemail
2. my volume does not work....i have to turn it on and off
