Volume control program

lost volume icon mm driver window xp hp pavilion a810n

Hello lindenbar,
I see that you are having problem with the volume control missing on your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps that may help with the issue. If the sound is actually working on the computer then you should start with step 3.

  • Volume Purchasing Program -- how to use in practice?

    I have been pointed in the direction of the Volume Purchasing Program for Business described at http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/ .  I'm kind of trying to wrap my brain around this -- so far my "solution" to dealing with the AppStore is to find some work-around to the AppStore when there is software or a software update that an employee needs for his/her work computer.  (The most common work around being convincing the colleague that they can live without the software!)
    On the VPP webpage it refers to this document (http://images.apple.com/business/docs/VPP_Business_Guide_US_6_4_2012.pdf), which purports to show Apple's "solution" to businesses buying software for business use.  If I understand the concept correctly, we will have one email address, with one account, for all of the computers in the business.  So I set up an email account, example [email protected], attach it to the VPP as the AppleID, and all the bills go to there.  Suppose I need to buy seven copies of Keynote for my seven Sales Department laptops.  I go and make the purchase, which generates a single charge of $139.93 ($19.99 times seven) for all of the purchases.  And I get a code which can be used seven times to install the software on the seven computers.  Ok, so far so good.
    Then it gets a little vague.  The documentation describes four ways to install the software.  First way:
    Email the redemption URL directly to users. Users simply click the URL, either from their mobile device or from a Mac or PC. iTunes opens the app page in the App Store. The redemption code is automatically entered, enabling users to immediately download the app after authenticating with their Apple ID.
    Now we come to a full stop with cartoon special effects.  WHOSE Apple ID?!?!?  These are company-owned computers running company-owned software for business purposes.  Employees come and go.  Employees change jobs.  Jobs functions get reorganized.  Hardware and software get re-deployed to follow along with operational necessities.  Suppose the seven sales reps get new computers, and four of their old laptops go to delivery drivers and the other three get put on a shelf to canibalize for parts -- the seven copies of Keynote have to end up on the new computers, and need to be OFF of the old computers.  Suppose Larry, Curley and Moe are in a department that gets reorganized.  Larry leaves, and Curley takes over Larry's spreadsheets while Moe takes over Larry's presentations.  So Curley needs Larry's copy of Numbers moved to his computer while Moe needs Larry's Keynote.  How does that work?  Does Curley's machine end up with needing Larry's Apple ID to update Numbers and Curley's Apple ID to update Pages, with Moe's machine needing Larry's Apple ID to update Keynote and Moe's Apple ID to update Pages?
    There are 3 other methods to distribute software listed in the doc.  #2:
    Post the redemption codes and URLs to an internal website, such as a company intranet page. Your business can also create websites to manage the distribution of redemption codes and URLs. Notify your users that the app is available, then direct them to an internal website hosted on your company intranet to initiate the download. You can also build an internal app catalog that provides a web-based portal for employees to install apps directly from their device.
    This one doesn't mention Apple IDs for installation, but I'm suspicious that it will want an individual Apple ID per device, too, just like the email distribution.  The wording "their device" is a little ominous...
    Next method:
    Use a third-party Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to centrally manage codes. Many third-party MDM solutions provide tools for IT administrators to upload the spreadsheets into a management console. These solutions help distribute codes to authorized users and keep track of how many devices have redeemed the codes provided. Check with your preferred MDM partner to see if these features are supported. To learn more about Mobile Device Management solutions for iOS visit www.apple.com/iphone/business/integration/mdm.
    Anybody know of a third-party solution that manages business software on business devices?
    Last Method:
    Use Apple Configurator to install apps on new or supervised devices. Apple Configurator on a Mac makes it easy to mass configure and deploy devices that are centrally controlled. Redemption code spreadsheets acquired through the Volume Purchase Program can be imported by Apple Configurator, tracking the number of apps installed on each device. To update deployed apps using Apple Configurator, you must reconnect to the same Mac from which the apps were installed. Learn more at itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator.
    Looking at the documentation (and the two scathing reviews!) this doesn't really work very well, AND it can only push software to iOS devices, where I need to mostly install on my 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 machines.  And it specifically mentions that each piece of software creates a one-to-one relationship between the managing computer and the managed device.  Suppose my boss installs Keynote on machines 1 & 2, and I install it on 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7.  Then he install Pages on machine 1, 4, 6, & 7 and I install Pages on 2, 3, & 5.  The seven machines have 4 different permutations of who installed what.  That's with only seven machines, two admins, and two pieces of software -- imagine 70 machines and 20 pieces of software!!!
    Does anybody know how to make App Store software purchases work in a business that has business operational, security, and licensing issues?

    Looking at the examples posted in the documents, there are examples of qty 12 and qty 10, and no mention of minimum purchases.  There also appears to be no price break for apps purchased through the program.  So this is different from the 20+ program where you are getting volume discounts.  Clearly it's more valuable for the 20-and-over market -- can you imagine creating and managing 500 accounts with 500 separate bills when you buy 500 copies of a 99-cent app?  Aack!
    The default way that the App Store is set up is totally oriented to individual private purchasers.  The Apple ID is permanently linked to the app purchased, and you must know the username and password of the Apple ID that installed the app in order to update that app on that device.  Oh, and you can't just use one Apple ID and password for every machine in your group.
    I'm thinking of creating a naming scheme for Apple ID's -- one for each machine.  I'll create an email address for each machine and then that becomes the Apple ID for that machine's App Store purchases [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.  Give them all the same password.  Then all I have to worry about is if I need to shift around software and recombine them so that I end up with multiple Apple IDs on single machines...

  • Volume control buttons not working with new usb keyboard

    Hi all,
    I recently replaced the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac with the usb keyboard (the long aluminium one, with the number block). Typing is no problem, but the volume control keys dont seem to work with this keyboard as I was used to with the bluetooth keyboard: max vol, increase/decrease and vol. off dont operate with any of the keys (f, alt, str, cmd, shift). Only thing I can do is get a view of the running programs or make the current application vanish from the screen.
    Tried to change the keyboard setting in preferences for the F1-12 keys - made no change.
    help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was able to fix this bug by upgrading to OS X 10.6.8.
    Very strange that a) it was a problem in the first place and b) that the upgrade did not happen automatically
    Thanks very much to Haggibbor, who alerted me to that possibility. Since I read this in a thread I did not open myself, I unfortunately do not know how to let him have the 10 points I would like him to receive. (Hints for this newbie are very welcome.)
    Problem of volume control keys is now solved.

  • Volume control not working after I plug in speakers or headphones

    When I turn on my 13 inch with Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or if I restart it, my volume works perfectly. However, whenever I plug in earphones or speakers the volume will be 'stuck' on the loudest it can go. When I use the volume controls on my keyboard or the slider at the top menu bar, it will make the clicking sound as if the volume is going up or down and will show the white speaker with the volume being adjusted but the volume will stay on the loudest possible setting. Even after I unplug my speakers/headphones the volume will continue to not work. There is no red light coming from the headphone jack and since it works upon startup, I'm inclined to think it's a software issue and not a hardware issue but then again, I don't know the first thing about computers. Since this has started, I've looked online for similar problems or suggestions but nobody has had this exact same issue, but I did follow the suggestions for similar issues. I repaired the disk (I could only do it for the Macintosh but I am running bootcamp with windows on the other side but I've used it maybe once for a pc only program and have never run the internet on it so I doubt the problem is coming from that side). It repaired a bunch of stuff but it didn't fix my issue. I also reset the PRAM and the NVRAM (I don't know what this does, but someone suggested it so I gave it a shot) and it did nothing. If you have a suggestion for something I can do, please be detailed, or point me to detailed instructions because my computer knowledge is very limited but I'm willing to work to fix this. Thank you!

    Make an appointment at the Genius bar at the Apple store.
    Ciao.

  • No sound except Flash, volume control doesn't work for that.

    My sound seems to be cursed. Everything else works fine for me, but in the few years I've been using Arch I've been plagued by constant sound problems. Apparently something in a recent update broke my sound. I get no sound for anything but Flash, except Flash sound is SUPER LOUD, and doesn't adjust with the volume control. Everything else, there's just no sound. Not in VLC, Amarok, Battle for Wesnoth, or other various programs I tried. I tried VLC using the default sound output, the pulse output, and even the ALSA output just for the heck of it. No dice. I was reading in another similar topic that KDE might be the culprit, and indeed I'm using Pulse and KDE. My asound.conf is the default one that comes with the pulseaudio-alsa package. I've tried both gstreamer and xine as backends, they both have the same problem. In pavucontrol, it looks like sound is playing. If I play music or a test sound, the sound bar moves, but you still can't hear anything.
    Now here's where it gets weird. Selecting a device within Phonon is screwy. In the output section, the devices listed are as follows. All but the top one are grayed out.
    Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)
    Internal Audio Digital Stereo
    Dummy Output
    Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.1
    Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.0
    Now, in the audio capture section, the devices are different.
    Internal Audio Analog Stereo
    NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804)
    NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804 - MIC ADC)
    Pulse Audio
    In that list, pulse is greyed out. Are they supposed to be different like that?
    In any case... I'm at a bit of a loss. I just can't seem to keep the sound working on this thing. Any ideas?

    I think I encountered the sound problem too. I'm using a thinkpad T42, installed gnome, using ALSA. Normally I just enter runlevel 3 into the console, I have ALSA configed and the soundcard is well recognized. But when I play .mp3 using mpg123, everything goes fine but just no sound output (I setted up alsamixer previously, and had all necessary channels unmuted.). That goes several days. And one day, after setting up alsamixer, I also did a alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.status store, miracle the sound is there. But the day after, the sound disappeared again. Now I'm totally lost, leaving me thinking whether it's a Arch sound bug?
    By the way, my system is most updated and upgraded.

  • Have Audigy2 in Vista, why are there two volume control icons in system tr

    Hi,
    I'm running an Audigy2 on a Windows Vista system. There are two volume control icons in the system tray. One is the Soundblaster control, the other is the Windows control.
    Are these two programs supposed to be running at the same time? Do they conflict with one another?
    Thanks for your time,
    Big Al Mintaka

    Hi pgaastra.  I don't know why there are two items in the task bar, but you have identified the
    recommended fix.  The why never bothered me enough to investigate, so maybe we will both
    find out now.

  • Volume control not working when speakers/headphones plugged in.

    When my external speakers or headphones are plugged into the back of my iMac, the volume control won't work. A "no sound" icon appears and the volume slider will not move. When I unplug speakers or headphones everything goes back to normal. All updates are current. My "Audio MIDI Setup" says, "Audio Output....Output Not Supported." Repairing disc permissions was run too. Any ideas?

    Hi Paul
    *First off:*
    Open System Preferences > Sound and select the Output tab. Now plug in your external speakers or headphones, do you see the Device Name change from Internal Speakers to Headphones?
    *If nothing:*
    Then try another Account, preferably your Admin. Account if your logged into another.
    *Still nothing:*
    Check the settings in other third party Audio programs you may have installed?
    *If still nothing:*
    Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    +(as per the instructions at the bottom of the article)+
    and

    Take it in for service and have it checked for a hardware problem.

  • Volume Control

    How do I get all the songs on my Nano to play at the same volume control? Some songs are almost too loud while others I can barely hear.

    Use the soundcheck feature to level out the volume somewhat.
    Apply it in iTunes using the edit/preferences/playback menu (Windows).
    iTunes/preferences/playback (Macs).
    Turn it on on the iPod using the settings/soundcheck/on menu.
    After applying it in iTunes, sync your iPod to reflect the changes made.
    There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
    For Windows there is mp3Gain.

  • Volume control in flash player

    I can't seem to find a way to control the volume of the ads that appear when watching videos.  The ads block the volume control and are much higher than the flash volume settings.  Congress passed a law, called CALM to make this unlawful, but it seems that broadcasters are not willing to comply.  The volume hurts the ears and I can't find a way to control it with some kind of master volume control.
    Does anyone know of a solution?

    Veetle.com and Justtin.TV are two examples.  I usually have my OS volume at about 1/2 and this allows me to set the volume inside Flash at about 75%  The problem is that when the ads inside flash come up, they are at full volume.
    The law that Congress passed states that it must be at the average volume.  The ads shut off the volume control so you have no choice to lower the volume.  Before, they did have a volume control within the ad.  I think Hulu did this.
    One of the reasons the law was passed was because the volume was set very low on the base program (tv show) then the ads would come on much louder.  Congress passed a law last year that takes effect in two days stating that they must be at the average volume.
    I run serveral programs and have the OS volume set so that I can here other programs, then some ad comes on a blasts my ears with no way to control the volume within the ad.  
    If you read the law as it is written, it must be at the average volume.
    It's clear the advertisers have found a way to bypass the volume set in the Flash player
    According to the law, the volume of the ad needs to be the same volume as the program.
    "The bill passed on September 29, 2010. The bill requires the use of technology to ensure that commercials will be played at the same volume as the program."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Advertisement_Loudness_Mitigation_Act

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20025823-503544.html
    I'm not sure how the ads are produced, but simply having a volume control on the ads would at least help.  It can be pretty painful to have someone scream in your ears.  If someone is using headphones as I sometimes do, or self powered speakers as I always do they can suffer damage to the ears.

  • How to remap volume control keys on aluminum keyboard?

    I want to remap my volume control keys (increase, decrease and mute toggle) to F16, F17, and F18 on my new aluminum keyboard. But I can't figure out how to do this. I called AppleCare tech support and was told that volume key location is hardwired into the keyboard. Say it ain't so! There's got to be a way, right?
    Help?
    thank you!

    I second this, I still think this was a poor decision on Apple's part. I loved real media keys, this is not a laptop keyboard, (Fn)+(..) should not be necessary. My real complaint comes from IF i can get it to remap in OSX i am still stuck with it as is in Bootcamp. No remapping programs work with (Fn) in XP.
    Sorry for the rant but I have actually stopped using the keyboard because of this and finally went back to it to try again.

  • Volume control on new Wired keyboard?

    Hello! I use to have the old short wired keyboard but my cat spilt water on it and half they keys stopped working so we finally got a new one.
    When I plugged it in I noticed IMMEDIANTLY the F keys at the top were off and not in the right place, I was able to fix most through System Preferences> Keyboard and mouse< keyboard and changing the hot keys to the right onces BUT I could not figure out how to fix F7-F12 as the volume controls
    I looked at many other questions simular and I know one said hey download from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#Keyboard%20update But none of those worked they said can't find your keyboard! and I know someone said try using a program named Spark but after I made the new hotkeys they like.. They didn't work either...
    Does anyone know how to fix this? It's a keyboard with numeric keypad and wired NOT wireless.

    Boy, they sure have turned Function keys into Rocket Science.
    Do you have an Apple Store nearby that'd test the KB on their Macs to be sure it isn't defective?
    Supposedly the Fn key combo is supposed to work...

  • 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

  • Audigy2 ZS installed now getting Windows Volume Control error po

    Installed the Audigy 2ZS with little problems, I had the Audigy HD integrated MB sound on my computer previously.
    Disabled the onboard audio in BIOS, will not let me remove all of the Soundblaster Audigy Advanced MB program. I believe this program is just software that gives it some pseudo Audigy characteristics.
    When I try to remove it I get a SETUP.EXE error and informs me it must close the program.
    The error message i get on startup is VOLUME CONTROL unable to load the interface. Please reinstall the application.
    Any suggestions or tips I would appreciate it.

    Icehouse,
    You might want to uninstall the A2ZS first. That way there won't be any uncertainty about what Creative entries belong to your onboard sound. Most importantly, you need to back up your registry before making changes and be able to restore it if needed. You can get info on that here. There are also registry cleaner utilities you might want to consider. I haven't used these, but here's a comparison of several.
    Another option is to uninstall the A2ZS, remove the card, enable the onboard audio, and try to uninstall it again. If this succeeds, then reinstall the A2ZS. You might want to run drivercleaner after each uninstall.
    If you aren't comfortable making changes to the registry, then I'd advise against that. If it comes to that, is there some place you could take your PC for expert help? You might also contact Dell for instructions for disabling the integrated audio.Message Edited by Katman on 02-0-2006 08:9 PM
