The volume control in the right corner of the taskbar has gone haywire. I tried activating it in the 'customize' settings, but it tells me that it is not activated. How do I activate it, and more specifically, what is the registry fix for this?
Basically, once I've connected to my SSL VPN, and go to Activate SSL VPN Tunnel Mode it comes up with the below problem:-FAiled to start SSL VPN Tunnel client. Please check if it is installed properly. You need administrator priviliges on your pc to install or update the Tunnel Client.My IT department at work are clueless but tell me I should be asked at that point to download the Active X Control. But its not. And I am the Administrator on thi
Is it possible to program some keys on my keyboard to control volume?
My last keyboard broke so I got a new one for like $4. It's a 104 key basic keyboard. No multimedia. Like, is it possible to change something in the registry or something so I can have like F5, F6 and F7 to control my volume? Or any other keys.
I am using my computer speakers for everything, my Ps3/TV/Computer are all going through my computer speakers, which is awesome it's what I want, but, I want to be able to control the volume! The speakers don't come with a remote, so I have to get up and turn the nob on my keyboard to turn down the tv now since the TV remote obviously don't work seeing as though the sound isn't coming through the TV any longer. I've been looking for a volume controller on the android market and havn't found one that suits what I'm looking for.
Searching for a piece of software that can have me see the volume i raise up and down.Important thing is i also want it working in games. I didnt found any that worked in full screen games.
I have a Vista generation WMC remote I use with my new Xbox extender and all the functions work properly except for the TV on/off & volume. I know have to use the TV remote to do these functions, the WMC control for WMC functions, and the Xbox console for Xbox on/off. Is there a way I can get this down to just one or two? From what I read, it looks like the Xbox 360 universal remote does these functions so I'm wondering why this one wouldn't...I don't need to control the Xbox functions other than turning it on.

I tried booting into safe mode to scan for malware and viruses but I cannot go into safe mode just by tapping f8 right before windows starts. I have tried many times but to no avail. I think it is broken because the only way I can go into safe mode is via msconfig, but I would like to avoid that. Also, the volume does not go down, only up, and I have tried using both the function keys and the main volume control. It will go down but it goes up again by itself.
Specifically, this applies to the Logitech G510 keyboard, but concerns any compound HID device with media keys and USB audio.
In Windows 7 (Ultimate x64), it seems the default behavior for handling volume changes from media keys is to apply them to the default audio device. That is, unless the device sending the volume keys happens to also contain a soundcard, in which case Windows applies the volume changes to the device. On the surface this makes sense, but in practice it can be mildly annoying to some people. Consider the case with my keyboard: on most days, I have a plain old keyboard with media keys. My media keys control iTunes in the background and change my default system volume. Works great. But my keyboard has ports for a headset w/mic. When I plug in my headset my plain old keyboard is now keyboard+media keys+playback device+recording device. Now, Windows decides volume media keys originating from the keyboard should be applied to my headset volume. Bummer.
This is what I'm looking to change. I want the volume keys to continue affecting the default playback device (my headset has inline volume control). I'm hoping it's just a registry edit, but I'm willing to pick apart whatever I have to to make the change.
PS: It may be worth noting this only applies to media keys using USB scan codes. If the device happens to use the PS/2 scan codes for Mute, Vol Up, and Vol Down the changes are applied to the default playback device. This provides another alternative way of changing the behavior: if I can remap the action taken for the USB scan code to the action taken for the PS/2, it would also accomplish what I'm after.
Is it possible in Windows 7 Home 64-bit to increase the native volume available for speakers. In other words elevate the volume over the defaulted maximum that comes with the software? I am having problems with the volume when I am using headsets. With all gages set to maximum volume both in speakers control and the actual headset volume it is still inefficient., as in not high enough. Is there any form to tinker and manually overrule those settings?
I've read past threads over this topic in Windows XP.the Sound Devices link does no longer exist in the Control Panel in Windows 7. How does it work in 7?
I have a Realtek built-in sound card. I've got a GA-990FXA-UD3 GIGABYTE mobo, and that's all I'd think matters.It was working a little while ago (Yesterday) with no problems.When I got home, the little speaker thingy on the bottom right had an error thing next to it.So, I looked in the volume settings to check stuff out, and but when I click "OK," it goes back to the lonely, empty, no speaker'd room.
I recently bought a dell computer second-hand from my friend, who had XP installed on it. It came with a subwoofer and a set of 4 regular speakers. On it, he had installed a form of creative volume control in addition to windows volume. The way it worked was he had the windows volume set to 100% at all times, and the creative volume control around 3% for regular browsing, 10-25% for gaming and 50% or higher for rocking out with music. I recently acquired windows 7 home premium x64 and upgraded my operating system. My soundblaster card has all the necessary drivers and the audio is all hooked up properly, and the only thing missing is this form of volume control. After looking around for the old software and trying a few different freeware and shareware programs, nothing has pulled through for me;
as described I use a Logitech G510 keyboard with multimedia keys and the posibility to insert a headset into it (the keyboard got its own soundcard). The keyboard also got a volume wheel which worked with Vista like it should: I could controle the speaker's volume by the keyboard.
Now with Win 7 I can't use the wheel anymore, even with the latest drivers.

so i have a blue yeti, and i'm an online animator/voice actor. whenever i record audio on my blue yeti (or any other mic) i record about 4-6 inches from the mic, and turn the gain down enough that the audio doesn't peak as i yell or whatever. this is what you're supposed to do if you don't want your audio levels peaking and making your recording sound horrible and corrupted. however, afterwards, it means i have really quite recordings. not a problem right? now that it's recorded right, i can boost the volume of the entire clip afterwards right? wrong. i'm not an audio expert so i must be missing something. but why in gods name would the audio distort and peak after it's recorded successfully? it's all there, it's all clean audio. if i turn the volume on my speakers all the way up it sounds crystal clear! all i want to do is do that inside the computer so that when i upload it to Internet people don't have to turn their speakers so far up. but if i increase the clips volume in the computer, it distorts! it sounds awful! why?! i tried in sony acid and audacity and they both do the same thing! i can take sound effects, and recordings made by other producers and crank them up nice and loud, but mine just fall apart!
I bought a USB A4 Tech HU-200 HeadPhone Its volume is quite high even when the windows volume is at 0, When its at max 100 it works like dedicated speakers Is there any way to reduce the volume beyond the lowest volume of windows 7?
Note: My Headphone does not have any soft of driver or software
I just received a new keyboard today: Thermaltake Challenger Ultimate. I went from a Logitech G15.
First thing I did was connect the keyboard and install the software that came along on the CD, it probably also installed the correct drivers. First after this did I uninstall the software and drivers from the old Logitech G15. But before that, and now after, the volume buttons on my new keyboard is still not adjusting the volume when I press them.
A speaker-icon like this shows up when I press the volume buttons, so its not that the keys are not working: (ignore the text behind it, its me writing an assignment)
I recently got this problem, that my volume hotkeys stopped working, (Acer Aspire 5560G) AMD High Definition Audio. I also tryed plug in other keyboard that have's volume hotkeys but still doesn't work.
I like to listen to music loudly sometimes. I have both the volume mixer and my application's volume set to maximum levels, but it's not loud enough for my liking. Is there any way to increase the maximum sound volume in Windows 7?
When I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.
How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?
Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.
Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?
I am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.
new machine (Home Premium x64). It seems to go to sleep based entirely on how long it's been since I touched the mouse or keyboard. If there's a program running, like a virus scan or a download in progress, it goes to sleep right in the middle of it. That's incredibly stupid! How do I make it stay awake when it's in the middle of doing something, even if it's not receiving input from me?
