No on-screen volume display for Hp Pavilion Dv4 (2011)

[chialossus]

This is the first time i got an Hp Laptop and I just noticed that there is no Onscreen display when im changing the volume using the volume keys, it works and all but just no onscreen display so i have to check the level of volume manually.

Same issue on the brightness adjustment, i think it would be alot easier to check the level of volume and brightness if it had an onscreen display.

Is this normal for my laptop? If not how can I fix this?

I have an HP Pavilion Dv4 2011 edition, running in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Help please.

Hi,

Although not specifically for your notebook, try downloading and installing the HP OSD utility on the link below.

After this installation has completed, restart the notebook.

Thank you for the Hp OSD Utility information! i was kind of hesitant to use the link you gave me because you said its not specifically or my notebook i just had to search about it my self and found this link.

it had the file sp51701.exe instead of the sp52956.exe on the link you provided.
