The volume of my laptop is gone and i cant troubleshoot it in the control panel....they not allow me to click coz its blurd..

The Windows operating system on your Toshiba laptop contains a functionality that allows you to increase the volume.

Your laptop's volume is a measure of the decibel levels of sound that your Toshiba laptop will put out.

If you are having trouble hearing music of video files, you may need to boost the sound volume, which can be accomplished by following several steps.

Press the "Start" button on your desktop.

Click on the "Control Panel" icon then double-click on the icon labeled "Sounds and Audio Devices."

Click on the "Volume" tab then move the device volume slider to increase the volume.

Close the "Control Panel" when you have completed the operation, and your volume should be louder.

Hope this helps.

Uninstall the audio driver and reboot the machine and do a fresh install, or try a sysem restore by bringing computer back in time before this event.

check your volume controls to make sure the volume is turned up and not on mute. Click Start/Control Panel and look for Audio or Sound to check the volume.

You can also click the megaphone at the bottom right near the time to check the volume. Make sure the volume is up and that it is not on mute.

If you mean the Volume icon in the system tray then you have to make it visible by Start->Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Device Properties. here you will fing an option where it says Place Volume Icon in System tray. Just click its box.

First make sure nothing is muted.
Start>Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices

If nothing is muted, and your volumes are up and still no sound, try updating your audio drivers,

Start>Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Sound Video and Game Controllers

Right click your audio drive and select Update driver.

First check you dont have a red line through your speaker on your toolbar. If so click it and "UN-mute it.


If using external speakers then check that the speakers are plugged into the GREEN port on the laptop and that the speakers are powered up with the volume at about 1/2 way.

Open volume control.

When the box with all the sliders opens up click on OPTIONS (top left)
Click PROERTIES

Make sure that Volume controls, Wave, SW Synth, CD PLayer, Line IN, and MIC all show on there and that the volume sliders are about half way up.

Make sure noe of the sliders have ticks at the bottom, if so UNTICK them.

If any of those are missing click options then properties from the top left and put a tick besides any that were missing (nothing else unles you know you want that item)

Now close the slider box.

Put a normal music cd in your cd/dvd player on the computer and set it to play with windows media player.

You should now have sound out of the speakers.

If not double check that you have no problems with your hardware from the device manager.

go to sound icon in bottom right corner, click on mixer, then there is a sound output screen. I had the same problem on my laptop until i found this screen and turns out my laptop was using 20% of its volume!

go to start menu -> control panel -> sound and audio devices. you will find volume control. or another method is just click on the volume icon which is located at the right bottom of your windows desktop.

Hi

Assuming u are using windows OS.
U could goto device manager and check whether your sound drivers are installed under the Sound, Video and Game Controllers. If yes with no problems then goto Control Panel and check your sound playback buttons and see whether the volume control, wave control are up or muted. Also, check your manual whether u have correctly installed the sound driver.

Ok it could be a few things, I am assuming that you are using XP and its a laptop, so lets try these:

1. Can you turn up the volume by using Control Panel -- Sounds and Audio Devices --- Device Volume slider?
2. On some Compaqs, the controls for audio are activated by holding down the FUNCTION key (usually blue letters on key on the left side of keyboard) and then pressing the audio up or audio down key. These keys are usally towards the top of the keyboard. These keys can do multiple things depending if the blue function key is press down first. They can control things like switching between internal and external displays, turning up/down the brightness on your laptop display and controling your audio levels too.
3. Do you hear any sounds at all, if not, does Device Manager list your sound device?
4. If this is a desktop PC, number 2 does not apply.

ok try those and let me know, Thx! =)
