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.
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 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?
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)?
I cannot control the volume on my laptop using the volume buttons on the keyboard. The only one that works is the mute button. How do I get those to work? (the laptop is new)
within the last week - I installed a fresh copy of Win 7 x64 SP1 on a new office workstation. I am using the Logitech K800 keyboard and J.River Media Center for media playback.
NOTE: I am using the Gigabyte EP45-UD3R motherboard and it's onboard Realtek Azalia HD audio chip. I am NOT using the Realtek drivers (more on that in a moment) - I am using the built in Windows 7 HD Audio drivers.
Long story short - I discovered some conflicts with the internals of the motherboard where the front panel headphone jack of my case (Antec P182) would exhibit static in the phones if moving the mouse on screen. Traced that to some weird issue with the USB ports so I had to install a separate front panel insert into the case and attached JUST the audio cable so I could get static free headphone listening.
Now the issue. When using J.River Media Center (and WASAPI Event Style from within Media Center) and I select "speakers" under it's Device Output area - I am able to use the Mute, Volume Up and Volume Down hot keys on the K800 to control the audio level that comes from the speakers.
But - if I change the Device Output to Headphones - using the exact same audio device - suddenly the three audio buttons (upper right of the keyboard by the Calculator button) suddenly do not work.
Couple things - I cannot recall in any previous build whether or not these button were working or not OR if I just decided to try them for the first time with headphones. I don't use headphones often with this machine but when I did in the past...volume seemed fine...just can't remember if I ever attempted to control it via keyboard
Also - when wrangling with that static issue in the headphone jack...I did install the actual Realtek drivers for 10 minutes to see if it would make a difference. It did not. Knowing the history of the Realtek crap and how one can never uninstall it correctly - I am wondering if I now have a conflict with old drivers, old registry entries or something else that might be contributing to this issue.
I will get strait to the point:my volume is going up and down by itself nomatter if i am using winamp or streaming. i would add that my audio is controllet by srs hd audio lab(audio plugin)
I want to partition the hard disk since there is just one volume C ( OS) and install ubuntu also. Do i need to take a backup of my data? Also, does another volume contain the new OS ubuntu?
just got my new pc hooked up. and everything is working fine. except the volume. i can hear but its not very loud. i tried going into the settings but nothing i do makes it louder. it dont have a sound card. but it still has realtek hd audio. i even went in that settings but i didnt see any place to where i can boost the volume.
im having trouble with my headphones mic which from some reason recording volume is very low . so low that in game (by using TS [teamspeak]) when other people have the game sound , they can bearly hear me. i set my mic to 100 volume and the boost to +30db but thing stay the same.when i test the mic with recorder the bar even dont rised a little bit .ohh , and by the way , in case anyone thought the problem isnt in the mic which is new due to the fact that after this problem happend at the last microsoft headphones i had, i bought new one (forgot the model).
I have a set of powered Logitec 2.1 speakers that I used to be only able to turn up to about half and it would become too loud for my apartment or hearing pleasure. (It was the same with our with out headphones) But lately I will have to run it at MAX volume to get anything decent out of them. I've checked every volume setting and control I know of. It's kind of odd, I'll seem ok at some times, and then at others i'll really notice it. I just built the computer maybe a month or two ago, and I havn't had any luck with it since. Motherboard" ASRock 870 extreme3AMD CPU Phenom II x6 1100 Black8GB ramIntegratd Realtek sound... whatever else.Now before you suggest that I set the communications options to "Do Nothing" I've already done that. I've also updated reinstalled drivers blah blah blah. So I need some fresh Ideas here
I have an HP Pavilion DV7 laptop... The volume slider keeps turning itself all the way down, even as I try to turn it up. Its been happening for a while now. I've tried:
1.) Completely removed everything attached to the MOBO, only the LCD, DC Jack, RAM and HDD. Issue still persists 2.) Same as above only added battery, and unplugged the ac adapter and ran off battery. Issue is resolved. 3.)Plug power back in the issue happens again. I tried many combinations of removing and adding hardware components and they all have the same result. 4.) I update the drivers, then uninstalled and download new drivers. Installed the software and disabled the software. The issue persists 5.) Tried updating windows and then disabling the sound software along with HP Smart software. Issue persists. 6.) installed a new HDD and clean installed windows 7 with only the provided drivers. Issue persists 7.) Replaced the Sound/Smart Media Power panel. Issue Persists 8.) Changed the RAM. Issue persists. 9.) Disabled the sound devices in the "Sound" control panel. Issue Persists. 10.) Flash the BIOS, already has the newest revision so I re-flashed it. Issue Persists. 11.) Tried switching AC Adapters. issue persists 12.) Changed DC Jack & AC Charger.
I don't know why but, when I play Left 4 Dead or Garrys Mod the process volume on Volume Mixer goes on minimum but a "ghost" volume icon stays on maximum.
I always have to minimize my game and get my volume on maximum again, each round start (when survivors were overwhelmed or survivors win).
When i have an SS i post here.
And only to say, im so happy that, I've downloaded the video driver from ATi website, but I don't needed to install it, I play all my games (L4D, CSS, Gmod, TF2...) with the WDM driver with all filters and everything with the same FPS i get with the ATi driver installed.
I deleted all shadow copies, first via Disk Cleanup and then via vssadmin, all per your instructions. It didn't help. I then went in and disabled System protection. It didn't help either.Disk manager still says I only have 462756 MB shrink space out of a total of 953867 MB (NTFS), leaving 491111 MB after shrinkage. That's not enough - I need to shrink the C volume to 96 GB, because I want to move to my empty RAID SSD (2 disks/mirror) with 107.13 GB (NTFS). I assume the reason I cannot use Seagate's disk utility to execute the move is that it cannot move from a larger partition to a smaller, but it hasn't actually told me that - it just doesn't follow instructions.)
How can I change my [system]VolumeID, because I got banned from something and that was a hardware ban, I try changing mac but it was something different and most of the guys say it's the volume ID.So I downloaded 3 different programs to change the Volume ID, they all came out exactly as written in the tutorials and still my ID isn't changing.Is it because of windows 7 or maybe because of my pc's makers (or however you call them) ACER?I tried download it from a microsoft page and it came up good in command propt nothing will work.by the way I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit, acer, intel7 proccesor and NTFS hard drives.
Actually I have installed Windows7 Ultimate on my laptop and I have a volume license key. And it seems, the windows7 activation required windows volume license server to activate. But I am in remote and I could not able to access volume license server available in my office.
If I use this key I am getting the error. I there any way that I can use the volume license key on my laptop to validate the product.
so I wanted to dual boot two operating systems so I shrunk my main partition in half but didn't format the new partition. Now, I want to delete it or format it but it doesn't work, instead gives me this annoying error message "The system cannot find the file specified". How can it not find the file specified? It's 170 GIGABYTES. Also, it doesn't have a name, so is that the reason? I can't find it in "My computer", so is that why? It says underneath that it's "Healthy", and a "Simple Volume"
My headphone volume is too low even at max volume settings.. using windows 7 64bit ultimate. Headphone : HS 320 (Creative).. tried with other 1-2 headphones.. all of them .. volume is too low!
Realtek sound driver : 6.6.1.6662 Intel : DH55TC
No problems with speaker volumes.. its loud and clear (5.1 creative t6160)
My mic is at 100% and it is working perfectly fine and everyone can hear me. However, at night time I have to talk really quiet or else my parents will wake up and get very mad. Talking this quiet however, nobody can hear me.
Is there some way or some program that can increase the mic volume over 100% so I can talk quietly at night time and the people I'm talking to can hear me?
All functions work fine, but when I reboot Windows 7, after the reboot the audio volume is set to max (100%); this does not happen when rebooting into Vista Ultimate x64 or XP Pro x32.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7. Since the upgrade, my microphone has not worked. The input volume is too low to be heard, even at max volume and mic boost.
I've tried disabling and re-enabling it, and adjusting every bar I can find that concerns to max. Neither has produced a result.
I'm tempted to un and re-install the mic, but I don't know where my driver disk is, so I'm afraid of doing irreversible damage.
i thought upgrading to 7 would take care of it, but it carried over to the new operating system. here's the 2 problems i have, and i believe they are tied together or i wouldnt mention the browser one. volume control. at completely random times, the volume controller will just take over and turn itself all the way down or all the way up. any attempt by me to move it it just resets, if i slide the bar to the top it'll slide it back to the bottom, and vice versa. more often than not it turns the sound down. but once in a while it maxes my volume. the only way i can regain control of the sound is to reboot. i only mention this cuz it happens simultaneously with the sound problem so im pretty sure they're related. my browser will act normally until the problem kicks in, then it acts as if someone is hitting the "back button" and holding it down. i cant go forward a page, i cant open a web page, i cant do anything, it stays on my homepage forever. you can see it try to go to a new page but then poof its back on the home page. this makes browsing or using the internet impossible.
ive had my netbook for a few years now and has never experienced any problems with the sound until 2 days ago. is there a setting change i have to make to have my speakers play sound again? nothing is on mute, and everything is on fullblast, it just isnt working?
I just installed a new mobo with my windows 7, and the sound mic volume is so low. with everything turned up i need to scream to even kind of hear myself on playback. I read this was an issue with windows 7 so what is the fix? Mobo is ASrock 970 Extreme 3 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
