dv6700 built-in volume slider HANGS UP

‎07-22-2009 10:52 AM

ISSUE:    Use of built-in volume slider control at top of keyboard hangs ... the slider image will appear on screen and stop all other processing for perhaps 15 seconds, then flash to indicate one tick of adjustment and hang for another 15 seconds, then repeat this process for (2-3 minutes) until all ticks of adjustment have been applied, the volume adjusts, and the "slider image" on screen disappears, returning control to whatever program was active.  (a royal pain!)    Any solutions ?    THANKS, ALL !!!!!

 

SYSTEM: 

Laptop = custom HP Pavilion dv6700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Keyboard = laptop's as supplied,

    Default = "Standard 101/102-key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard with HP QLB"

OS = Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2

Processor = Intel T8100

RAM =  3.0 Gb

Audio = Realtek, as supplied

 

SYMPTOMS:   Use of the taskbar speaker icon to adjust Realtek audio volume works fine, with no hangups.

 

ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS:  

  HP "Update" = nothing

  HP Support site search = could not find anything

  Driver update =  current Realtek High Definition Audio driver is  6.0.1.5494 ((both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers appear installed under details))

  Other audio driver installed (modem, as supplied) = Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device (( never used ))

The "slider image" are known as OSD (On Screen Display), for Vista, HP use a software called Quick Touch software.

There maybe an issue running it in Vista-SP2 64 bit.

 

Try uninstall it from control panel and install it again.

There is an update for Quick Touch software, here with interesting enhancement notes:

 

  • Removes on-screen volume display for notebooks running a Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit operating system.

  • Improves the performance of the on-screen volume display on notebooks running some 32-bit applications.

    •  

    If you wish for solid software, try 3RVX, QuickTouch equivalent, (download 3RVX_2.5.msi) freeware from Matthew Malensek
