HP Laptop Mute Problems
Jun 7, 2009
I have this pain in the ass problem with HP's mute button on my nc8430 laptop (Hp quick launch buttons). The core of the problem is that the system mutes the sound by default and the orange light on the button is always on. In reality that means that anytime I want to play something with sounds (mp3, movie, flash online video,..) the system needs like 10 seconds to turn on the sound card and after I finish playing the media file it again goes back to mute.
I tried installing/uninstalling different versions of "incompatible" HP's QLB drivers, installing differend sound card drivers but nothing helps. The sound comes out every time, except it needs 10+ secs every fuc***** time!?

I have a problem that's been driving me crazy. I'm new here so forgive me and feel free to direct me to any thread if it's been posted already.So I have a HP DV6-2162NR laptop and the mute button (touch) is stuck in the mute position (see picture).The button works completely fine, as in it will mute and unmute on command but the button does not change color from orange to white. I couldn't do a system restore because there wasn't one saved. I tried disabling the sound card but that didn't work.I'll restart it and it turns white. But as soon as Windows 7 loads, it turns orange and stays orange.

i enjoy playing games on nintendo8. but i hate the fact that turning off the sound isn't an option. these games run on java. i was wondering, is there anyway i could mute the sound of java, or just the web page, or even the browser, without turning off all my system sound? because i want to listen to Internet videos, and media player videos, while playing these games.

Just recently, when I go to mute the sound in Windows, it does nothing and sounds continues to still be played. The icon in my taskbar displays the red circle with the slash through it indicating that it has been "muted" when in fact it has not. I am still able to adjust the volume with the slider and that works fine, just not mute.

I'm having trouble with controlling the volume in windows 7. If I'm playing music through either Windows media player or itunes and drag the taskbar volume slider down to 0% I can still hear sound. I've only noticed this problem last night so I thought a system restore to yesterday afternoon would fix it but I've still got the problem. There is a possibility that this problem there since the installation of windows and that I only noticed it last night though.
Some random details: I've noticed that if I open the mixer, all of the levels claim to be on the same volume. Itunes, applications and system volume sliders are all at zero but sound is still playing. If I just click on the itunes slider, the sound disappears completely and 0% volume actually means just that. The problem then is that the slider is then independent to the master volume slider and I have to adjust the volume for itunes every time.
System specs:
Dell Optiplex GX620 (Tower)
P4 3.2GHz
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
SoundMAX integrated audio
My system doesn't even have official Vista drivers from Dell so if the problem was there since before last night then it's probably due to the drivers. If that is the case, is there anything that I could do (other than a system upgrade)?

As it stands right now, my Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card will not allow me to plug in my headphones via the front panel of my desktop. (This makes sense, as the onboard audio solution was disabled upon installation of the card.)Thinking that this would only be a minor setback, I purchased a simple Y audio cable that enabled me to plug in both the speakers and the headphones at the same time.Unfortunately, this does *not* work as well as I intended. (It merely reduces the output of each, while simultaneous emitting sound. Nothing is muted.) Furthermore, it seems I can not get my card to actually *detect* the headphones.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and have the HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=3795411&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
A few days after installing windows 7 the Quick Launch mute button is stuck on (red) indicating that the system is muted whether or not it's muted in the system tray. No sound will come out of the external speakers but headphones work fine. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the sound drivers on the support page but that limits me to only using headphones OR internal speakers (even if headphones were plugged in) by setting it through Control Panel. System restore fixed the problem for 1 day and it reoccurred.
I've just installed the newest version from HP but it doesn't affect anything: HP Quick Launch Buttons HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
I found related topics with similar (but not the same) issue but none have solved the problem.

This doesn't work. Very irritating.(I don't know if this RealTek sticky at the top of this forum is a solve for this, I'm not hot on registry changes and I'm not sure if this is a fix for this issue.)Firstly I have to turn off the front-panel detection in order for the front panel to be detected..?Secondly, I can't get the speakers to mute when the front phones are plugged in. I can do a manual switch from one to the other, but the front panel won't detect when things are plugged in.

Using a tuner card in my computer. When I mute the sound in Media Center Live TV, it mutes all the Windows sound. Would like to be able to mute the Live TV & run closed captioning while keeping all the other Windows sounds. Can't seem to find any options to set.
Tuner card is a Avermedia M791-B.

I want to share a set of speakers plugged into one Win7 laptop to my main laptop so I can game on the main one and the sound will come out of the other one via the network. Both laptops are on a home network in a home group.

just a quick thread about my current laptops cooling problems because it constantly rises to 90C Degrees, when doing the simplest of tasks such as web browsing. I have a cooling stand for it, and it hardly ever is moved because I know how hot it gets - its more like a desktop now. I've heard it is because of a bad heat sink design in the DV6 Series, but was wondering whether replacing the current thermal compound with something such as Arctic Silver would help at all? I am buying a new laptop in the next few months, but I cannot decide on the best laptop to buy. I have been interested in a Dell XPS 15, which has the i3-2310m processor and the Nvidia 525M GPU. I don't playing any FPS games, but do play some browser games (or did play, but I would rather have the option there). Would this be adequate for games like RuneScape and such?

I have an HP business notebook that I cannot use anymore as it is facing some issues that are proving to be uneconomical to repair and restore, and it runs on Windows 7 professional 64 bit,I also have a Sony Vaio which runs on windows 7 Home basic 64bit. Since the home basic is inadequate for my use, I was wondering if I could replace my Homebasic 64 bit of Sony with that of HP Win7 professional 64bit? Please guide me on a suitable way to change my OS.

My wife's laptop is a dell with Core 2 Quo T7700, 2GB RAM. She uses about 25 tabs in firefox, and does a bit of photo editing with Gimp. Not exactly a power user. Any benefit to installing 64-bit Windows 7 Professional?

I am looking at buying a Re-furbed IBM T42 lappy with P4m 1.7, 1 gig of ram and 40 gb (I know...its small) hdd to generally play around with and to run some Powerpoint Presentations for customer when I need to.
It comes with XP SP3 but I am so hooked on Win 7 that would be my preference....
It should install without too many dramas but I was hoping someone out there might have some experience with similar spec machines regarding drivers etc.
I was going to go for a 10 inch netbook but at A$280 for the IBM and I know where they came from initially it is hard to justify A$650 plus for a smaller rig.
