[Windows 10]: Driver compatibility issues, sound buttons don't work

[pajser92]

Hello everyone,

I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 x64 on my HP Probook 450 G1 (E9Y30EA), and after installing drivers I noticed when I turn off the sound, my Mute Button won't change its color to amber (or orange, yellow, whatever), as it did in Windows 8.1 and 7.

Also, another thing that's not working at all is Microphone Mute Hotkey (fn + F8). It neither turns off the microphone, nor lights up its LED.

I have the latest version of HP Hotkey Support driver installed (7.0.13.1), HP Quick Launch Buttons, HP Wireless Button, installed, .NET Frameworks 2.0 and 3.0 etc.. everything is up-to-date, but it's still not working as it should. Microphone muting just doesn't work at all, and pressing (sound) Mute Button does mute sound, but its light stays white, so I often don't know whether I had the sound on or off with the glance of an eye as I used to. 

On the other hand, HP Wireless Button works normally, and it changes its color to amber when I press it to turn on Airplane Mode.

TL;DR: After installing Win10 Microphone Mute Hotkey doesn't work, and sound Mute Button works, but its LED doesn't work.

Is there anything I can do to fix that, or is it just a problem with driver incompatibility that would be fixed in some of the next updates? Or is it something else, like Windows 10 issue or audio driver maybe?

Thanks in advance,

Hello, I am having the same problem, did you find any solution?

[pajser92]

Thanks for reply.

No, I still haven't found any solution. I've tried installing the latest HP Hotkey Support (5.0.28.1 Rev.A 9 Jul 2015), but no luck.

Exactly the same problem , and I think not only us alone. Tried to apply this method(http://habrahabr.ru/sandbox/35608/), but to no avail. Interestingly, while support looks at this forum ?

Why the hell is no one from HP Support team responding, as this is clearly a common problem amongst many series of their products?

Similar issue with ProBook 6550b. Mute button works but does no longer changes color after Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) upgrade. No solution yet.
