Windows Extra Volume Control update

Which update has the extra volume control sliders I beli've there is 7 your 8

I have had the same issues. I believe the volume bar is a conflict between hardware sound controls and windows 8 audio drivers. Previously I found the only way to disable the bar was to disable all sound. There was no program or service specific to the
bar, disabling all sounds service gets rid of it, but who wants a mute computer? The best solution I have come up with so far is to update sound drivers. For me I went to the Lenovo website because I have a Lenovo 540b all in one touch screen, and I downloaded
Realtek high definition audio drivers for windows 8 64 bit. After install I had sound and voila, the bar disappeared. It did come back again a few days later after testing the touch controls for sound. I reinstalled the driver and will simply stay away from
any built in sound control, and control the volume through desktop controls. I have spent countless hours with this problem, and I know there is very little information available on the web. Hopefully it will be brought to Microsoft's attention soon. I hope
this helps all of you. I know how frustrating this is because it also completely messed up all touch function. If I come across a better fix I will post. But for now I recommend going to your pc manufacturer's website and downloading the appropriate audio
driver updates. A refresh or clean windows install will not help. I tried both. I also tried disabling all services not necessary with a selective startup through msconfig as previously mentioned. None were successful. It is definitely a hardware and windows
driver incompatibility.

    I have a onboard snd_hda_intel and usb headset. The USB Headset is the default sound output device without using .asoundrc.
    Then I set up this .asoundrc file to get the extra slider to control the volume but alsamixer doesn't show it. After some testing why it doesn't show it, I thought ok letz switch the onboard as default card.
    So I changed it in the .asoundrc file. What I got was soundoutput on my snd_hda_intel card without the switch but the usb headset was stil alsamixer -c0. When I used LMDE for a few days there it switched and showed everything extra control and hda_intel was alsamixer -c0. What I am doing wrong.

    I'm not sure this is related to your problem, but I have a system with a PCI soundcard along with a sound chip on the motherboard. Which sound device that would show up as Card 0 and Card 1, would change on almost every boot, until I modified some /etc/modprobe.d/ files.

  • Swapping of window and Volume control

    1) My X 61 volume control (Fn volume increase and decrease) not functioning since the first day I bought this machine which is in 2008, warranty still valid (bought together with 3 years warranty) but the only problem is that my locations is for from the service center. The service center was in Kuala Lumpur and I'm staying at Miri Sarawak (the only transportations was by plane). is there any service center in Miri?
    2) I also have R51 running on window vista buisness ultimate (came with R51 bought in 2007) can I use this OS to subtitude it with my current X 61 which is running on window vista home basic (came with X 61)? if yes how? did I need to send it to service center for swapping?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi sang, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
    1) There is no Fn volume increase and decrease key combination on the X61, just the dedicated volume increase and decrease buttons.
    2) No you can't use your R51 Vista Ultimate license on your Vista Home Basic X61. The licenses bundled with complete systems are "OEM" licenses, and are tied to the hardware they shipped with. You can purchase a Vista Ultimate upgrade though, and that doesn't require a trip to the service center.

  • Ipod touch 1st Gen, no volume control after update to 3.1.2

    So i just upgraded my ipod touch to 3.1.2 which cost about $6, and the volume control is missing( even with the headphones plugged in).
    How can i fix this? i dont want to do a restore and not have the firmware i just paid for.

    The recovery at a XP-PC was successful! So it's clearly a driver issue.
    For he ones who have a similar problem, but without the two "Recovery Mode - Devices" in the device manager, I had this problem, too. But it was easier to solve.
    Look for your iPod in the device manager. It can be found in "Portable devices". Let your Windows (even 7) update the driver online. That helped in my case. But only till I tried the firmware update... :-/
    So be careful! If you want to update the software of your iPod Touch or iPhone, too, I think, on a Windows 7 machine, make sure, that you have another PC with an older OS in reach!
    I hope I could help somebody till Apple releases some compatible drivers...
    Bye, folks.

  • Need Volume Control API's for windows phone 8.1

    Hi,
       I'm developing a windows phone 8.1 app in which volume need to control. To do this I'm not getting API's to perform this operation, so can any one help to develop this app. if not please post some suggestions why this is not possible.

    Hi NareshKumar,
    Volume control always needed by play some media stuff, could you please tell us why and where do you need the volume control.
    Basically as I know if we play the sound by MediaElement, it has a
    Volume property, or what kind of media play control are you using?
    Indeed, there is no API that can directly control the system volume, only user can manage that.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

    Hello PaulH.Reed,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)

    This thread concerns IOS 5.1.1. update and the subsequent loss of volume button functionality and use of internal speakers.
    Please can someone help from the mac team!
    It's not a jailbreak phone. only purchased in early April on O2. Updated to 5.1.1. yesterday morning and now the volume buttons are virtually redundant!. Here are the symptoms;
    When the volume buttons are pressed on the home screen i get "ringer" and the speaker symbol appear but nothing more (ie. +/- volume)
    When playing back from iTunes with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
    When i playback Youtube content with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
    With headphones plugged in sound is audible and volume buttons work.
    Whilst using voicemail, (no headphones connected) i can play the message through the speakers and control volume using side buttons.
    What's the deal Mac Support? I have restored the phone twice and also given the headphone jack a good blow with Servisol Duster 101.
    Thanks, P

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with one of our two iPhone 4S's.  I purchased 2 - 16gig iPhone 4S's at the same time from the online Apple Store here in Canada;  one white and one black.  I updated both the phones on the same night,  within hours of eachother.  Updating my black 16gig iPhone 4S went flawlessly.  Updating the white iPhone 4S seemed to go fine until the day after when my wife said the volume buttons weren't working.  Also,  the volume slider is simply gone.  The volume buttons work and the volume slider shows up when headphones are plugged in.  There is volume and volume control with headphones,  but not through speakers.  The mute toggle switch on the side seems to work,  except when it comes to sound output through the speakers. 
    It hasn't debilitated the device,  but it's very frustrating for her because she can't hear her phone ringing.  I tried the "headphone jack" trick to know avail.
    iPhone Team,  please validate the issue and push a fix!

  • SB Audigy2 w/Vista: Creative Volume Control conflict with Windows Volume Control(sndvol.ex

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm running Windows Vista on a Dell Dimension 8300 with a SoundBlaster Audigy 2(WDM) card. I have a few no-mind questions about how these things all work together:
    . After I installed Creative's Vista driver upgrade for the SB Audigy 2 series, I noticed that there are now two volume control icons in the system tray. One is for the Creative Volume Control. The other is the original Windows Volume Control (sndvol.exe). Should these two controls be running at the same time?
    2. The Master Volume is a lot lower in Vista than it was in XP. When I let Vista pick the sound drivers the first time around, I figured the lower volume had something to do with those. So I downloaded and installed the Vista SB Audigy 2 Driver Upgrade from Creative's website. The volume is still very low, however, and I have to peak all my volume controls to hear much of anything. Does anyone have any ideas why this should be so?
    Thanks to all who took the time to read this! Have a good day,
    Big Al Mintaka
