I can't locate the volume control button - Computers & Internet

1. Look for an Fn (Function) key in the lower left hand corner of the keyboard.
2. Now look for a picture of a speaker on the F keys or number keys on the top of the keyboard. You should see three keys with a speaker on them. One of the keys will mute while one key will raise the volume and another key will lower the volume.
3. Press the Fn key while pressing on of these other keys to change the volume.

Different laptops use different key shortcuts. For example, my netbook uses Fn + F7 to mute while other laptops will use a different keyboard shortcut.

1. There should be a volume control button on your laptop's keyboard that has a plus and minus sign on it.

2. There should be a volume control on the task bar, the bar near the time and date on the screen. Try pressing the arrow that expands this bar.

3. Or search in windows explorer for "volume" and it should come up.

If it is not an actual button on the laptop there should be a Function key, (Fn) This is usually located near the windows key on the left hand side next to Ctrl.

Holding this down there should be two keys on the top row, the F row that have same coloured keys as the Fn key, one should have a symbol of a speaker and a minus, or other equivilant symbols and one should have a symbol of a +. these will control your volume increasing and decreasing it
You can also access the volume control via the toolbar in the bottom right hand of the desktop, a small symbol of a speaker can be . clicked on to open the volume mixer.

As well as changing volume the Fn key combinations can also be used to change brightness and switch between monitors and zoom ratios.

Look for the volume control buttons in a few different places. First, you may have a speaker icon on some keys on your keyboard. In this case, you would probably need to hold down a "Fn" or Function key to press them. They may be above the numbers or on your arrow keys.
You may also look on the front bottom if it's a Toshiba. It would be a scroll wheel.

What is the operating system you are using ?

You should go in control pannel, then in sound menu and check the menu "display icon volume control icon on taskbar"

Hi,

Look on the left and right arrow keys, if there is a speaker symbol on them then you can raise or lower the volume by holding the Fn (function key) which is to the left of the space bar and tapping the left or right arrows.

If there are no symbols on the left/right arrow keys then look for a volume wheel on the left side of the laptop near the front.

Hope this helps,

Chris
