Volume keys not working, what was the name of the process which controlled it?

Well because I hate programs that minimize my current window or stop what I'm currently doing.... I got really angry when HP support assistant minimized my tf2 window to tell me it was downloading updates.
As a result, I opened up the task manager and started ending almost every process which began with "hp"
Along with the the process which was probably in control of the very useful volume control buttons on my keyboard, so I was hoping if someone could give me the name of the process I ended so I can get these keys working again.
This question was solved.

The program is called Quick Launch. It might be something like QLBCTRL.exe.
I am an HP employee.

  • My volume key not working volume increase automatically, how to mute all audio

    my volume key not working, volume increase automatically if i go to audio settings i can adjust, but  again volume increase automatically , how to mute all audio

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comeback again?
    If this does not boring back a working volume control, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:

  • Yoga 2 13 brightness keys not working - it was TeamViewer monitor driver

    Hello, I have two Yoga 2 13's - I think both the 59403750 model. Both have the same specs.
    In one of those Yogas the brightness keys - "F11" and "F12" - do not work and it is full 100% brighness all the time. In the other (good) Yoga they seem to work OK - at least I can get the brighness down a few notches.
    When I press and hold the Fn key to get F11 or F12 to work the *seem* to do what F11 or F12 would do normally - e.g. in a word processor or browser. So it seems maybe just the brighness function of those keys are not working.
    Lenovo has calimed that this is not a hardware problem and they are not responsibile for it under warranty.
    I have done a little reading some time ago and seen something similar that was maybe fixed by installing updated video drivers. Well, that did not work - as of a couple months ago. At the time I also updated the BIOS - again no luck.
    Any ideas /inputs you might have are appreciated. Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    scf /scannow 'found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log' and then something about 'not normally suppoorted in offline servicing'.
    I'm reading from MS Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files and in the mean time I'm also doing a chkdsk /r just to make sure that's not an issue before I start trying to repair any files. Both were refirbs (still under warranty) - so who knows about the HDDs. Luckilly I may have the other one to pull files from if necessary - if it is something that easy.
    It's been doing this since pretty much the day I got it. I've never seen it work right on this one.
    I appreciate the tip to factory restore but that is always the last option IMHO. That's a lot of time for me to get this thing back the way I want it. There has to be a fix for this silliness - I'll keep working on it and write back when I know more. Thank you very much for the help. If you think of anything else let me know.

    Re: iPhone 4S sound problems 
    Dec 29, 2011 2:05 PM (in response to unowen57)
    Hi Guys,
    I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed.  You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!!  This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
    Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along.  I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed.  some worked for an hour but then failed.  hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ...  and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection.  Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
    To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
    1.  a torch
    2.  a tooth brush
    3.  methalated spirits
    4. a butter knife
    Step 1.
    get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed!  everything!  it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
    step 2.
    Turn on your music app and put the speakers on!  If your phone is like mine it should not work.  you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
    step 3.
    Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone.  work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
    (As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
    Step 4.
    Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone.  Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again.  slide it back and forward.  Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
    This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors.  if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was)  any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it.  Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
    Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
    Cheers

    Did you check your Keyboard Shortcut settings in Sys. preferences, Keyboard & Mouse perhaps something is off there.

  • Keyboard volume keys not working with win7

    I installed Win7 yesterday and have lost the use of the volume control keys, as well as the display brightness keys. I come from XP where they were working.
    Any suggestions on how to get them back. I'm using the thin aluminum keyboard.

    Thank you for your reply. I thought I was running BC 3.2 32-bit  but took a look and it's 3.1.10.
    Downloaded the 3.2 32-bit BC update but it wouldn't install because of 2- errors:
    Service KeyAgent (KeyAgent) failed to start.
    I then pressed "ignore" and got:
    Service MacHAL (MacHALDriver) failed to start.
    Any advice on correcting these errors?

  • Brightness and volume keys not working after switch to Yosemite

    Once Yosemite was installed, the brightness (F1, F2) and volume (F10, F11, F12) keys on my macbook pro stopped working. I have already checked the System Pref>Keyboard and unchecked the "standard function" box, done an SMC and PRAM reset, to no avail. My sound in and out are both set to built-in. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Volume keys not working on Apple 10-key keyboard.

    Hi everyone,
    After the cat spilled a glass of water on my wireless keyboard I had to get a new one. I asked the folks at my local Apple store both over the phone and in person if the 10-key keyboard (non-wireless) they were going to sell me was compatible with Mac OS X version 10.5.8 (I think I'm Leopard) and they assured me it was.
    When I hit the volume keys, it initially used the assigned function of the F10, F11, and F12 keys (manipulated the windows and dashboard). I removed those key assignments through system preferences but now the volume keys do absolutely nothing. I tried looking for volume controls through the assignments but couldn't even find them to assign the F10, F11 and F12 keys to them.
    Does anyone have any advice? It would be most deeply appreciated.

    So was your original keyboard with the white plastic surround and now you have an aluminum one?
    You probably need this firmware update if that is the case:

  • Volume keys not working

    When I change from British English to Polish language (System Preferences/Language & Region) on my MacBook running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and perform the obligatory reboot, the volume keys on the keyboard no longer work. I have tried a PRAM reset (Option, Command (⌘), P, and R) to no avail. Internal speakers are selected in System Preferences/Sound but the volume controls are greyed out.
    Thanks for any suggestions or remedies.

    Sounds like your OS maybe at fault. Try repairing your permissions using Disk Utility first.
    If that doesn't work you should try to reinstall your OS by way of your Tiger DVD or CD using the Archive option, preserving the network settings.
    After your restart, go to the Apple Menu and choose Software Update to update your OS and other software then restart. After you do this everything should be fine.
    Now if you have a Mac still under warranty, call Apple Tech Support at 1 800 275-2273 if the above doesn't help.

    Check the setting in Keyboard, Keyboard Tab, that the "Use all F1, F2, ect. keys as standard function keys" isn't checked.

    Hi all,

    I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
    Any someone help please. Thank you.

    If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
    If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
    If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.
