Hi All,
Excuse me if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find a search facility on this forum and I've browsed lots of threads without any joy, so....
I've got a Sony Vaio (model PCGGRT996ZP), the volume buttons next to the mouse pad appear to work (they change the volume in the on-screen popup) but the audio level is not changed.
Is this a known fault, as two of my friends have the same problem ?
Is there a fix for this ?
Cheers,
Sam.
P.S the FN F4 button does the same

Thanx James,
Tried it but it's just the same, screen pops up and you can see the volume changing in the onscreen display, but it doesn't change the master volume control or the wave volume.
It is meant to change one of these isn't it ???
Stange that they were both delivered like this...
Oh, I forgot the mention that they are both running
Windows XP pro SP2
didn't work when it was SP1 either

Did you install the Sony Shared DLLs?

You have got them they're in the utils.exe package.
I ran the Utils file and it did lots off updates - doesn't tell you what it's doing and it doestn't make any difference...
Only thing that looked different was the ALPs pointing device so I have just updated the driver for the ALPs pointing device, on my mates PC (the one that was working) and now it won't bootup
Not a happy bunny !
It fails with ntfs.sys and suggests repairing it with the windows setup CD - which I haven't been given... The Vaio recovery disk looks like it will delete all data and format the drive !!!
- HELP - all this for some damn volume buttons

Also see bootdisk.com to see if they have a Windows XP Satrtup disk.
Had to fix my mates PC, but that still hasn't made my volume buttons work.
Any ideas ?
