Volume control problems in vista on MBP

Hi,
My Brightness and Backlight keys are working fine but I can't seem to change the volume using my remote or my keyboard volume buttons. The overlay comes up but theres a "no symbol (circle with line through it)" underneath the volume bar. Any ideas how I can fix this? (I can still chnge volume in windows, perhaps its a conflict with the windows driver in SP1)
I'm running a MacBook Pro 2007, and Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 (just installed SP1, could have caused the problem).

I am having the same issue. Everything worked fine until the last week or so. I recently installed Vista SP1. Are you running Vista with SP1?

My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix

My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix thankyou

Try force closing the Photos and Maps apps, then resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Photos in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it. Now locate Maps and tap to close it as well, finish by tapping the home button. Now reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until your see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release. See if that clears things up.

Another volume control problem after installing new software

I'm having a different volume control problem than the previous poster.
When I turn my ipod touch on, the volume control stays on the screen. I can't do anything to get rid of it. When I go into settings/sounds, the control goes away on the screen, but it will not let me turn the volume up. When I try to listen to music through my headphones, I can turn the volume up but then it automatically turns itself down. The same thing happens when I try to turn the volume up from the side control. It worked fine this morning before I installed the new software and now it's acting buggy. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Volume control problem in Lion

MBP 13" mid 2010 (7.1) just installed a fresh copy of Lion. After reboot volume control does not work (audio device - which is internal speakers - has no controls), but there is sound. After inserting headphones the volume control starts working, and remains functional after removing the headphones.
Basically after each reboot I have to temporary plug headphones to get volume control working. Nothing in dmesg or system.log
I'm familiar with linux so if you tell me how to debug this I'll happily do it, not afraid at all of command line or searching through logs.
(and you'd think that having control both over hardware and software would prevent such frustrating problems)

It looks more like a race condition or uninitialized variable in the kernel sound driver. That's not good since it may not affect too many people and may not be easy to reproduce by the developers (if it makes it onto apple's bug list)
One day it happened after every restart, for at least 5 restarts.
The other day it happened only after shutdown/poweron.
So I don't think the pram reset is more then a coincidence.
Only good think is you don't need to reboot often, sleep (standby) works just fine and the battery drain is minimal.

IPhone Volume Control Problems

The volume control rocker switch on the side of the phone seems to have a problem. The slightest touch to the 'down' side and volume goes to zero. I even have times where I am depressing the 'up' side but not actually increasing volume because the untouched down side is decreasing volume. Has anyone experienced this before? Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve?

Try a hard reset and restore. If neither help, contact Apple and get it serviced.

Hard Reset: Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down simultaneously at least 6 seconds (don't use red slider) until the unit shuts off. Then restart.

IMovie Volume Control Problem...

I have been working on making a movie in iMovie, I went to edit last night, and all of the volume controls I had set were no longer working. I had music and voice over together - with the music ducked under the voice over. No matter what I do - change the voice over to 200% and the music to 1% the volume just stays the same.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a way to fix it???
I started a new project to see if it worked that way, and it seemed to work fine - but It would be a huge pain to start the entire project over...
If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful!!!
Thank you

I've now lost all volume control of my tracks in iMovie. Anyone have any idea whats going on?

Call and Volume control problems

Whilst either making or receiving calls the other person can barely hear my voice and when they do the line constantly crackles at there end, i can't hear any problems though. Also i have the volume controls set to OFF yet i can adjust the volume using the side control buttons.

Having suffered with this problem for several days i decided to go into the apple store and explain the problem direct, it appears that the handset is faulty and i was given a replacement handset free of charge. I also hear several other people complaining about the same issue so its looking like handset issue.

N95-1 Music player Volume control problems

I muted the music player recently by turning the volume all the way down via the side volume controls and now I'm unable to turn the volume back on or up. The up controls on the side of the phone seem to work, ie feel the click of the switch operate, but nothing happens? I'm able to listen through the headset HS-45 that comes with the phone but have no control over the phone/music/video via the AD-43 in either the Music or Video modes?. Haven't yet tried the phone functions via headset! can somebody throw some light onto these issue's - phone has been its firmware recently updated to the latest version via the Nokia web site without any problems in a hope of rectifying these issue's but no luck.

Hi
I have a similar problem. Recently upgraded to V21.
Stick with me here...
Firstly I noticed the volume keys on the side of the phone didn't work; couldn't turn music up/down nor did they work when I was on a call. The only way to adjust in call volume was to use the centre navi key.
Secondly; whenever this happens I also notice when the keys are locked that the message "Press Unlock to activate keypad" keeps appears on the screen without me pressing anything.
Finally this causes a battery drain. Massively increasing the power usage from 0.2w to well over 1w
This happens intermittently i.e. cant adjust volume for about a day then everything is fine again.
Yesterday I also noticed that when the above happens the music controls (multimedia keys) when the slider is down dont work, they dont pause, play, stop, fwd/rwd or launch the music player.
Any ideas?

Is anyone experiencing volume control problems after update to OS 4

When I adjust the volume via the side buttons, it doesn't change the volume. The volume buttons shows up as I'm adjusting it, but there isn't any real change.
I go into settings-->sound, and the volume is still in the same position (as if I didn't adjust anything), and if I wanted to hear any real changes, it'd have to be done in here.

I haven't experienced those problems... My only problem has been with the volume controls. I tried playing music, and wasn't able to control the volume with the side buttons as well. I have to adjust it on the screen, which has become quite a nuisance for me. So basically my side volume buttons are useless as of the update to the new OS.

Volume Control Problems

Every time I click on the top volume key, it takes a picture of the screen. I am unable to increase or decrease volume during calls, it takes pictures instead. I have removed the battery 3 times and it has not resolved itself. If I click on the middle button, the voice control does not activate.The function worked well prior to the last update. I have version 10.2.0.424 on the Rogers Network. Anybody have any ideas how to fix?

This is normal.
The dock connector on the fourth gen iPod provides a line-out audio signal. The bypasses the iPod's internal amp, rendering the volume control useless.

Volume control problems- mac?

Since the implementation of the last software. My volume control button is missing. The only place I can control volume is in iTunes and then it doesn't get as loud as previous. Anyone else? iMac mid 2011

In System Preferences > Sound -- insure that the Show Volume in Menu Bar box is checked.

Volume control keys in Vista

hi All,
my volume control keys (Fn+F3, F4, F5) don't seem to be working. Even though after pressing them the regular speaker image is showing up on the screen, the volume level doesn't change (on that image or on the actual speaker control panel). There's also little white crossed circle on the bottom of the speaker image
Any ideas?

Interesting...
What I notice is that my SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC driver is dated as 01/02/2007. I believe it's Windows Update that update the driver, so I rolled back to the previous one (21/06/2006).
After system restart, volume control is working again however there's no sound
So no joy...

G560 Feather Touch Volume Control Problem

I have this laptop Lenovo G560 and the volume control option in the right to hand corner which has 4 buttons blinks itself and the volume controls automatically goes up and down and itself gets mutted again.
I am tired of this so I want to disable those commands of volume up and down and mute option.
I heard there is some kind of registry edit option.
Can someone help me in this?

No yet dear, but I have figured out one thing and that is when the laptop gets heaten up it starts blinking.
When you are in a AC room and the laptops temperature is normal at that time its perfect but when I bring it outside it starts blinking again.

T6060 Volume control problem

Hi,
I currently have T6060 speaker system. The volume contron in that system has some loose contact. Because of that one of the satellite speaker is not producing sound. If i touch the volume control it's producing. I'm still under warranty. But can i get a new volume control. Firvin

Try inserting and removing your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the jack in case any debris or fluff has built up in there.

Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
Any info appreciated.

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,
