Why won't the sound buttons work on my HP Pavilion g series?

for some reason the sound buttons UP, DOWN and MUTE will not work on my laptop.  even when i plug in the headphones it does not work.  HELP!

 Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.
Regards,
DP-K

  • Why won't the home button work

    I just dropped my iphone for the first time. It didn't have an otter box, just a thin plastic cover. It landed on it's screen but shows no screen damage whatsoever. Now I can't use the home button. I can listen to my music and play games just fine, but when it comes to getting back to the home screen with the home button it doesn't work. It makes the usual clicking sound, but nothing else. I got it to the home screen a couple of times by pushing the button with alot of force but I'm affraid that will damage it more. What should I do? Is it fixable? Do I have to take it to be repaired or can I fix it at home?

    Sounds like you broke your phone.  Bringt it and $149 to the Apple store for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
    Thank you

  • Why won't the sound on my iPhone work? No music, no text tones or ring tone.

    This morning my phones sound did not work when I plugged it into my car to play music. I unplugged it and realized none of the sound was working. No ringtone, no voicemail, no phonecalls, nothing. After playing with it and restarting it a couple times, it would turn on after static noises but then turn back off after a few seconds. At night I charge it on my iPod speakers, could that have caused the problem?

    This will fix it:
    1. Open iCal and backup your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    2. Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    3. Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    4. select the file your created earlier. Dbl click on it.
    5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.

  • Why won't my lock button work?

    I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

    It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.

  • Why doesn't the 'Reanalyze' button work?

    After accidentally syncing both the Upright Mode and the Upright Transforms (instead of just the mode) from 1 photo to approximately 200 other photos, I noticed something quite strange.
    When selecting the 'Auto' upright mode on any of the other pictures, the transformation was done using data from the original photo.
    When realising that I'd synced that transformation data across to a load of photos that it didn't apply to, I tried pressing the 'Reanalyze' button. This seems to have no effect - the images are still incorrectly transformed.
    The only solution was to manually reset every synced photo to its imported state (although I suppose I could have undone the sync operation, but I only realised this after doing other changes). After doing this, the transformations work correctly.
    Perhaps I have misunderstood what the button does, but if I have, then I can't see how you are meant to resolve this problem

    Looks like you've added a subform (Subform1) to the form which is breaking your script. You need to add it to your script. ie: Subform1.name.rawValue rather than just name.rawValue. another option is to unwarp that subform.

  • HT2729 Why won't my video button work?

    My photo button works fine, but when I press the video button, nothing happens.

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if you can record video when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why won't the Continue option work in my advanced action?

    I'm in Captivate 7. I have a slide where the user clicks on a click box which executes an advanced action: to show an animation, then play an audio file (a beep) and then it should continue (go to the next slide). But it won't. The slide is set to be 4 seconds long, but pauses until the user clicks on the click box. The advanced action reads this way: Show Laserline; Play Beep; Continue.
    In the preview mode, if I wait more than 4 seconds, when I click it just goes to the next slide without executing the action. If I click within the 4 seconds, it will play the advanced action but it won't advance to the next slide (unless I click on the clickbox again). I've tried changing the continue to Go To the Next Slide, but then it won't Show or Play. What am I missing?

    I think you may be approaching this the wrong way.
    If I understand you correctly, you were expecting that the series of actions you added into your Standard Action would be executed to allow the animation to complete first, THEN play the sound, THEN continue to the next slide.  However, you don't mention how long your animation runs for.  The standard action will indeed execute all actions one after the other, but they will likely be executed within milliseconds of each other.  So this could mean that your animation may or may not have time to complete. 
    As proof, you yourself said that changing your Continue action to a Jump to Next Slide means that everything happens so quickly that it appears as if your action only jumps to the next slide and that's all.
    If what you want is that clicking the object causes the animation to play AND complete playing, THEN a beep to occur, THEN progress to the next slide, all you need to do is lay these things out on the timeline.  Place your animation to appear on the timeline and begin playing immediately after the pause point of the Click Box (i.e. the pause point is right at the end of the click box object's timeline).  Then place another object on the timeline that will NOT be visible and add the beep to it as object audio.  (Use a highlight box set to 100% transparency.)  This should be right before the end of the slide timeline.  After the beep has played, the slide should automatically continue to the next slide.

  • In Firefox 3.6.17,why don't the tab buttons work?

    I've tried left and right click to gain access to new tab, but they do not work. I know they work in a later version, 4, but with version 4 I experience a lot of "freezing up".

    I didn't have the plain Ask toolbar, as I have refused it whenever it was offered. However, I updated Foxit reader yesterday, and noticed it was included, but couldn't see any way to not install it with the upgrade. So when my New Tab button didn't work, and I read here that Ask was probably the problem, I went and found the Foxit Toolbar and got rid of it. That worked a treat, and my button works again. Using Firefox 3.6.18. Thank you Edmeister :) Cheers, Keith

  • Why won't my eject button work?

    Just recently I went to put a CD in my disk drive on my 13 inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro and received no response. There's no noise and the computer makes no effort or anything to accept the disk the way it normally should. At first I suspected that maybe another disk had become jammed in the drive so I tried force ejecting (holding down the eject button while computer restarts) and even entered some terminal code which did get the drive to make the noise it normally does when it ejects a CD but nothing came out. I feel very confident that nothing is jammed in the drive, and I even reset the SMR or SRM something System Management something, and it all did nothing. Even my eject key no longer gives me the icon on the screen when it is pressed. I don't want to say it but are some parts of my computer actually broken or can I maybe still solve this problem myself?

    Hello Auto Boa,
    Holding your trackpad button (or clicking and holding the trackpad) while starting your MacBook Pro may eject the disc.
    If the disc will still not eject, try holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    If the disc still does not eject, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional assistance.

  • WHY WON'T THE SOUND WORK

    I have tried several times to get this flash player to play
    sound but I still can't get any sound at all. The video is there, i
    have the new version installed but when I go to YOU TUBE or a flash
    player required web site I can't get any sound from the videos. How
    can I get some sound from Adobe Flash Player
    9!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    I'm just a novice myself, but am having the same problem.
    Strangely enough I have come across a page here on the site that supposedly explains how some "partner" sites will no longer be useable now that some changes have been made.
    Maybe I am confusing the 2, but it sure looks like you now have to pay for it. (You can installer it, but have to subscribe to use the Macromedia Player to use those formerly partnered sites for the old experimental days.)
    Am I way off? Somebody say so!
