HP envy 17 J160NR: hp envy 17 J160NR mute button does not turn on

I have a 17-inch hp envy laptop my work button mute it just used to light up orange when cut more I've had this laptop for a year. It was working fine yesterday but when I went to bed last night hp was an update of copying files and other stuff for this, but when I woke up this morning the button mute wouldn't lite upward when you press. and on my laptop the mute button is f6 and the keyboard is backlit. can anyone please help me out and tell me how to solve this problem? It's really annoying, I need help badly please. It is a portable jump movement.

Hello

The driving mute functionality is provided by the audio software package, so most likely, Windows has updated this to a version that does not have this feature.

Try the following.

Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe

When finished, turn off your WiFi card (or if wired, just unplug the router/access point).

Then open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver.

When finished, restart the laptop.

Let Windows load fully, then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

If your mute led functions now correctly, turn on your wireless adapter (or re - connect the access point / router) and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 automatically update the IDT audio driver again.

  • HP Envy 23: HDMI in button does not work in Windows 10

    After the upgrade to Windows 10, the button used to display HDMI no longer works on my HP Envy 23

    I had this same problem, except on the 27xt, which is the version 27 "the envy of HP TouchSmart. It is same as the 23 '' only bigger. I called HP who told me to call Microsoft, which, after an hour of Remote Desktop new installation graphic drivers and who does not, told me to call HP.

    So, I googled the problem and found this thread on this forum and I am so glad that I did. Hpuser30 is quite right, except that I found a method even easier for fixing.

    I went to my local BestBuy store which sells version 23 "and I plugged a flash drive, I brought home, in the USB 3.0 port on the side of the screen. Then I went on the c:\ drive and found their SWSETUP folder, and I "copied" the entire folder on my flash drive. Their machine works perfectly in Windows 10, so I felt confident that this could work. I went home and opened the SWSETUP folder on my computer and I tried MyHPDisplayOSD and I found the folder named the same thing. Inside this folder is a file called HP_My_Display_2.08.020_Setup.exe.

    I tried to launch the file but it said I couldn't, because I already had a newer version. That was the problem in the first place. Microsoft or HP had updated the driver to one that is no longer recognize the HDMI port or button.

    And I went to control panel configuration then programs and I uninstalled my HP device, requiring a reboot. Then I installed the Setup file on the Flash drive, I got the computer to BeatBuy. I didn't even have to reboot. I just pressed the button HDMI IN and it worked perfectly, the way it is supposed to.

    The version store is 23 "and mine is a 27". The store had 10 Windows Home and I have Windows 10 Pro, but the HP_My_Display_2.08.020_Setup.exe works on both.

    So, it isn't the graphics driver and is not the button or port, is this HP My Display driver. The solution is really as simple as that. Now, I have to see if Microsoft or HP update again and it mess... Once again. If they do, at least I know how to fix it.

    My airplane on my HP envy mode button will not work after the upgrade to Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. I can turn on and off airplane Mode but not the button. Grateful for the help

    The only suggestion I can offer would be to see if installing the W10 wireless button driver solves the problem.

  • HP envy 15-j067cl Simple Pass does not work

    Just bought Envy 15-j067cl yesterday with the fingerprint reader, which I've never used it before.  I did all the updates of Windows 8 and then upgraded to level to Windows 8.1.  I uninstalled Norton, using the removal tool, because I have a current subscription for other security software.  I tried to find a way to implement the Simple collar, which is what I understand how to set it to use my fingerprints.  I was unable to put in place.  I checked for Validity Sensor Device Manager and saw the yellow exclamation with this message:

    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) "

    I checked this site, saw a suggestion for drivers of HP recovery, so I did it and now the validity sensor does not show in the Device Manager.  It shows only as "unknown device - another device."  How can I fix it?

    Hello

    First, if you haven't already done so, install the driver from Chipset 8.1 on the following link.

    Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    Then see if you can install the following Validity Sensor driver.

  • HP envy 15 key 'fn' 1066NR does not

    I bought a referbished envy 15 1066NR delivered without an operating system. I installed Windows 7 and noticed that the 'fn' key did not work. I thought it was a driver problem, but now I have downloaded and installed all the drivers I can think.

    In the last few days that I have upgraded to Windows 8 and after many hours of work with video drivers, finally got the system is stable. All the old drivers I had installed Windows 7 are compatible and since it was an upgrade, settled automatically in Windows 8. I always have problems with the "fn".

    That's when my friend 'Google' has been used. I found that, in the bios settings, there is a way to activate the default fn keys (pressing the f11 key is f11 but mute). This setting has been activated (f11 = mute) and I turned it off (f11 = f11) but now the fn key still does not work.

    I know that the "f1 - f12" keys work with their assigned functions because when the above bios setting has been activated, I was able to use them, but not my f1-12 keys.

    I would like to activate my fn button. I think that it needs active and should be trivial, but I don't see how.

    Please help and thank you in advance,

    -bscholt22

    OK, so it sounds like the Fn key does nothing at all - just wanted to confirm that the toggling this setting did not produce a different result.

    So, it looks that the Fn did not work right out of the box, this exact key? In this case, if you bought it refurbished at HP, always be guaranteed on this subject and could get a repair - maybe it's that the keyboard is physically not working properly. If you bought the device, refurb, please contact them and see if they will honor any kind of warranty.
