Can not adjust the volume with the Fn keys

Hello people,

I have an Aspire laptop 5733Z and I love her dearly.  Recently, I lost the ability to adjust the volume using the Fn key keyboard shortcut with upward or down arrow keys.  I have uninstalled and installed the Realtek HD driver.  I called technicians to Answersby.com and they couldn't help.  Did anyone out there has had this problem and is there a solution.  Thank you for your assitance on it.  Ron

[subject line changed to reflect the new topic]

Thank you very much!  who did the trick!  Kudo!  It doesn't seem to be "* beep * island" now and goes off often.  Fix is quick and easy to make as needed.  Thanks for your help.  good luck finding a job.  Ron

  • Can not adjust the volume unless I go to control panel - volume icon missing

    My volume icons disappeared from the notification (lower-right) area and I can't adjust my volume levels of my office (I have to go to the control panel every time).  When I right click to change the properties of the notification bar, the box next to volume under the "always show icon" is not Hi-limited and will not let me choose to always display of the volume icon.  What can I do else?

    This has been known to solve the problem for some. No guarantee, but it is safe and it is much much easier than this... just print first, then follow the instructions. Takes two minutes :)

  • Can not adjust the volume control

    I have no sound on my computer. When I go into Control Panel, volume control, it I cannot adjust the volume control. I have my computer set up for automatic downloads of microsoft, so I can't tell what I recently downloaded.

    When in Windows volume controls do not work, it usually means the underlying Windows application that control audio is corrupted. You need to retrieve sndvol32.exe is your partition recovery or recovery disc that came with your computer. The process for this varies slightly, but full instructions about recovering Windows volume are available on this tutorial.

  • Can not adjust the volume of the music unless the piece is played

    Hey people,

    I noticed that when you use Spotify and Pandora, by pressing the volume buttons on iPhone adjusts system volume if a song does not play. Once a song begins to play the volume buttons to adjust the volume of the music. If the volume came to be turned up really loud the last time that the application has been used, you start to play the song at full volume to lower. Any ideas if this can be fixed? It would be nice if the volume buttons would change the volume of the music whenever you are in the application at all, not once a song begins to play.

    Thank you

    Owen

    Hi osmithy,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that when you do not listen to music, and you set the volume on your iPhone, it adjusts the volume of the system as you say, but when music plays, the volume buttons to adjust volume of the song.

    This is the expected behavior and works as expected. This information can be found in the following link.

    When you are on the phone or listening to songs, movies or other media, the buttons on the side of the iPhone set the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume of the ringer, alerts and other sound effects.

  • I can not adjust the size of the window for Firefox on OSX 20 after update

    After updating to the latest version of FF, I can no longer adjust the size of the window. I tried to click and drag the four corners of the window, but it remains the same size. Before the update I could adjust the size of the window. I tried rooting around in the topic: configuration settings but have not been able to find something that would determine the size of the window being locked to certain dimensions. I have also reset firefox to its default settings and this does not resolve the issue.

    Execution of OS x 10.6.8 with Firefox 20.0

    Try to disable the use of Firefox graphics acceleration hardware.

    You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Firefox menu > Preferences > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    If you restart Firefox, the problem is solved?

  • Help! Can not adjust the calendar using the timeline

    I have captivate 2... everything is a little 'offbeat' when I click on things to do something to captivate. But in addition to that, if I place a bitmap on the blade I used to be able to adjust the timing of the bitmap just by extending on the timeling. I can't do now what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the comments. I ended up calling the technical support due to the problem of 'delay' I had. This issue has proved to be a .dat file that is corrupted. Then we addressed the issue of the chronology of resizing and it works very well on a new file, but not the one I work in. Thus, we concluded that this problem is actually a piece of corrupted data.

  • Can not verify the product key

    Just bought DSP 64-bit version of Windows 8 for installation on the new PC self-built.

    I get "we couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »
    The key was entered CORRECTLY - checked several times.
