Wireless Keyboard Volume control not working

Hi all
recently got a new Envy Phonext 800 050, came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, both of which work fine apart from the volume controls on the keyboard and I cant seem to find software/drivers for them that run under windows 8 ? any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi capnchuck,
Thanks for the quick reply. I would like you to check out Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting it has some troubleshooting steps we can try first. You may be required to download the drivers for your specific keyboard can give me the name of your keyboard example: HP Wireless Elite Desktop Keyboard, HP Wireless Entertainment Keyboard etc.. so that I can narrow down the keyboards that are coming up with that product number. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

Keyboard volume controls not working after 10.5.7 combo update

Actually, editing my original post, I now have to use the fn key aswell as F3, F4 and F5. Previously didn't need to use finger aerobics to change the volume, it wa done with one finger.
Is there a way of changing it back ?

I have unchecked "Use all F1 etc keys as standard function keys" in keyboard prefs and we are back to normal.
This has worked.

What did you open if if was already opened?
As for your non-working keys, perhaps debris somehow got beneath the keys. Especially if you were eating while using your computer. Spilled anything on the keys lately or previously?

If none of the above applies to you, you could have a hardware issue. If you have Apple Care, call them and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

Hi coffee12345,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on your wireless keyboard and mouse not working with your desktop, and I would be happy to help you! To begin, I need to ask you a few introductory questions:
What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop?
What version of Windows are you using?
Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?
Please re-post with the necessary information, and I look forward to your reply!
Regards

Wireless Keyboard Brightness Keys Not Working

Hello.
Since an update a while back the brightness adjustment keys for screen brightness on my apple keyboard have stopped working. These are the F1 and F2 keys normally.
On my Macbook Pro keyboard they work fine but the wireless keyboard keys do not.
Anyone having the same issue or know a fix?

I had the same problem, minor but annoying. I found the cause, It is a combination of factors. If the following are true:
• You're using a laptop
• You are running 10.6.x (not sure which revision, true of 10.6.6)
• You have an external display connected
• The external display is non-Apple, or you don't have a USB connection to an Apple display
• You are using an Apple Wireless bluetooth keyboard
• You have the menu bar *on the external display*
Then the brightness keys won't adjust the brightness of the laptop's display.
The apparent logic is that if your main (menu bar) display is external, and you're using an external keyboard, then you must want the brightness keys to control the external display. The bug in the logic is that it doesn't check to see if the external display is capable of brightness control. So, it appears that the brightness keys don't work at all. Note that Max OS X can only adjust the brightness of an internal display or an external Apple display with a USB connection.

Wireless Keyboard FN Key Not Working

I have checked this box:
I also tried the Firmware 1.1 update but I got a messege saying:
"No Apple Aluminum Keyboards Found" and I paraphrase "Please connect the device or make sure it is turned on etc."
I also tried the Firmware 2.0 update but got the same message. I can't physically connect the Wireless Keyboard to the Mac Mini I have. It's wireless FFS.
I ALSO Installed the Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1 and that didn't help
Also I tried some advice from a forum mentioning a SMC or System Management Controller via these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
But nothing is allowing me to use my FN keys anymore. This is annoying because I thoroughly enjoyed volume control from my keyboard. Now it's gone.
This all started when my old keyboard broke and I got a new one. I want my volume control back! Help me please before I jump out the window!

Hi.
My FN key is not working either. I have a macbook white (10.5.8) and a brand new apple wifi keyboard.
F9 to F12 keys are working. F1 to F4 keys are not working.
I've gone thought many posts (some are listed bellow). In short, I did the following already:
- keyboard software update
- keyboard firmware update
- magic mouse software update (because some posts suggested that more than one Bluetooth device, like magic mouse, could interfere on Bluetooth keyboard operation.
- SMC reset (above in this post).
Most posts were saying "uncheck the "use F1, F2......", then recheck it. This didn't work for me.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Gus.

Wireless keyboard volume control

Finally paired my wireless keyboard with the older Mac and cannot get the volume controls on the keyboard to work at all. Keeps taking me to widgets or closing current window when I hit the F11 or F12 buttons. I tried going to system preferences, disconnecting, powering down and repowering keyboard per a post I found (which worked for the person who asked the question initally) but it will not work for me. Can someone help me to get my volume controls to function properly?
Thank you.

Hello b:
Look in system preferences>keyboard. Is the use F1,F2… box unchecked?
Try a couple of things:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Reset PRAM:

Reset the SMC (look in the knowledge-base articles. Your profile is not complete and I cannot point you at the specific article).

DV9700 Volume Controls not working after motherboard replacement

I have a HP Pavilion DV9702ea, which I've had for just over two years now. It worked absolutely fine for me in every way since I got it until about one month ago when I installed some software that required me to restart Windows. The laptop shutdown but did not restart. I tried to switch it back on but it would not work - when I pressed the power button the power light would blink for perhaps half a second but that was it. After some internet searching I ascertained that this is a symptom of a common problem with these laptops and that it suggested that the GPU had failed, which meant I needed a new laptop.
So I ordered a new laptop using the model number shown on the sticker near the RAM ports. It arrived and I installed it. Now my laptop is fully working again - all except for the volume controls. On the control panel above the keyboard, all of the QuickPlay keys (Q, DVD, previous, Play/Pause, next and stop) are illuminated but the volume control keys (mute, - and +) are not. I have Windows Vista installed with the correct audio driver and it does not respond to me pressing these keys, so it's not just that they're not lit up, they're not working at all.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this - as far as I'm concerned it should not be a software issue, because these keys are supposed to be illuminated from power-on, so even without a hard drive or an operating system installed these keys should be lit up. Nevertheless I've tried making sure all the audio, QuickPlay, QuickLaunch and QuickTouch drivers are up to date and have tried alternate drivers for all of them. I've checked the cable leading from the motherboard to the controls - it appears to be intact, but I even ordered a replacement just in case and that has made no difference. I've extensively Googled the problem and the most promising fix that I could find (that is repeated on these forums several times) was to power off the laptop, remove the mains adapter and battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds to discharge any static and then power on again. I've tried that a few times and it has not fixed the problem in my case.
So I'm at a loss now. My last resort will be to return the motherboard for a replacement, but that will obviously be a lot of hassle for me as I'll have to strip down the laptop to remove it and I'll be without a working laptop for a day or so. And then, if it's not a motherboard fault, I'll have put a lot of effort into not getting anywhere. So is there anything else I should try?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have this issue before, in my case, its ribbon cable issue. dv9000 have two ribbon cables the one that have broken is the long one, (connect mobo to switch panel). However there is other possibility that the switch panel also broken.
Try buying the ribbon cable first, it is much cheaper compared to switch panel.

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!

Ciao.

Wireless Keyboard Function Keys Not Working

I recently bought a wireless keyboard and am using it with an iMac running 10.5.8.
The function keys don't work, for example F12 brings up Dashboard instead of increasing the volume, F8 brings up Spaces etc.
I've unticked "Use all F1, F2 etc. keys as standard function keys" and have tried installing the Mighty Mouse update and Wirless Keyboard update 2.0 to no avail.
Any help in fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have the exact same issue: I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and the "Apple Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0" does not resolve my problem with the "fn" key. The "fn" key simply does not work. For example I cannot adjust volume regardless of whether or not this key is pressed. Also, I cannot perform a "del" action, which is normally "fn" + "delete" keys combined. The "delete" key only performs backspace action, whether or not my "fn" key is pressed.
I have tried removing the keyboard from the bluetooth devices and adding it again to no avail. I also tried deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist in the preferences folder, rebooting, adding the keyboard, and finally installing the 2.0 update. Still no difference; the keyboard gets recognized properly, but the "fn" key does not work.
This is driving me nuts, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Function keys (i.e., volume control) not working.

I just noticed that none of my function keys (i.e., volume control) appear to be working. I have an Apple wireless keyboard. It is correctly paired.
I tried a PRAM reset, which did nothing.

System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard - make sure the top box isn't checked.

Apple Wireless Keyboard 'o' key not working

I have recently acquired a pre-owned wireless keyboard which was working fine until a few days ago. Now the 'o' key has stopped working and some keys do not work with the left shift key - they work fine with the right-shift key and other keys work with left-shift.
I have checked the key using the keyboard viewer and the 'o' is not highlighted highlighted when the key is pressed. I can type 'o' characters using the keyboard viewer.
I have tried pairing the keyboard with another mac and it has the same symptoms on that machine so I don't think it is a software problem or a problem with SVC, PRAM or Bluetooth on the mac ( late-2012 Mac Mini).
I have tried to look for solutions here and in other forums but none of the suggested solutions seem to work.
Any suggestions?

I would reset the PRAM. If that does not work, I suspect it is failing and/or failed.
I agree, it is not a Bluetooth problem.

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
Zap the Pram > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
*Then if you still get nothing:*
Take it in for service and have it checked for a hardware problem.
