My volume on my laptop isnt working.. theres a red/white x on the volume symbol.. how can i fix it?

what kind of cable are you using from vcr to tv? is it coaxial cable or are you using RCA's? if Rca's you will have a yellow and a red/white or red/black even a single...anyways u said the video was good...check to make sure the rcas are all hooked up then you can make sure that the volume on both tv and vcr are up.

Please refer to HPs website to re download the drivers.

Please note, if you are using Windows 7, the volume control will not work since there is not a windows 7 driver for it.

If you are getting a big 'NO' symbol when using the volume keys to adjust it, it means your speakers are not being recognized as a valid output source.

Try resetting your SMC:

If that doesn't work, it will likely need repair. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE if issue persists after resetting the SMC.

To fix the volume control re-install the drivers of the laptop and in the right lower corner you will see a speaker like symbol where you can control the volume. Increse the volume from there.

Thanks

Replace worn out batteries in it. If that isnt the problem then access the BIOS screen by booting laptop up and pressing DEL key, search for setting that lists infra red laptop pad, enable and save / /reboot.

If your TV is connected to a VBOX, i other words you have virgin box connected to it, thats the problem. If you try and set your vbox remote to control volume of your tv it will go, or u can start configuring and abandon, will also get rid of it

check the door lock isnt stuck in the lock position

Hi, best thing to check is the drivers, goto control panel, system, device manager and look for any yellow or red symbols beside any of the devices, if there is it probably just need the drivers installed if it aint probably the sound on the motherboard is gone and would suggest a external soundcard as it will cost alot to fix or replace the motherboard.

Hope it helps

Hi pujak,

The little red "null" symbol you describe indicates you've got the "Mute" turned on (bypassed by headphones). Either go into System Preferenced/Sound and adjust that, or use the F3 or F4 keys (it's F3 on my MacBookPro) to toggel it on/off.

If I can be of further assistance, or if you have questions about any of my response(s), please let me know before rating me.

If this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly. My goal is to earn a "FixYa" rating from everyone I help.

Thanks for using Fixya.com,
