Volume slider does not work in video games / other active windows?
I'm sure I'm not the only one having this problem, but after a lot of Google search, I can't find another topic that deals with this problem.
I have a DV7-2185dx (Windows 7 64-bit) and it has the bar of the volume slider which works fine most of the time. However, if I play a video game in a web browser (usually executed under Flash), I can no longer adjust the volume with the bar. I have to go to the taskbar to change. This happens in some other video games full-screen (which means I have to leave the game to increase the volume). It also happens with YouTube; If I click the video to pause, or to skip forward/backwards and play again, I can't use the volume slider, except if I click outside the video window.
I guess my question is this: is there one way other than the bar or the taskbar to adjust the volume? Or any way to fix this problem?
Update:
I just discovered that this is apparently only a problem with Firefox. I can adjust volume in flash games and YouTube in Google Chrome. Still not sure of any way to solve these problems with Firefox, but it still lets you know who.

On HP DV9000 (DV9700) volume slider does not work with Windows 7
There is not too long, the volume button, next to the volume on my laptop cursor no longer works. After reviewing the comments I found, has been able to adjust the volume switch number, by shutting down the PC, unplug and remove the battery and put again. I still can't get the volume slider to work! I can go in the audio mixer and volume control, but it would be nice to make it work again. I had this problem with the original operating system (Vista) and have upgraded to 7 Ultimate and it still continues.
I found the solution me!... I installed the software of quick launch (because it isn't a Windows 7 post yet, my old OS is Vista Home) and it worked! My volume slider works, as it did before!

My mouse does not work on a game
I got the sidki and my mouse does not work on the game. How I've implemented so it will work or is there a way I can use a Xbox 360 controller
thomaswecker,
We will need more information to help you with this issue. What is the game? What version of Vista are you using? Is the USB mouse or wireless? With respect to the use of the x-box360 controller, it depends on the game. All the instructions for implementing any type of input device, be it a mouse or a game controller, should be included in the games instructions.Let us know this information so that we can be of further assistance.
Thank you, Gloria
