My Volume Pad is broken, but I sometimes use it for fast volume changes. It is now stuck on mute, and it won't go to Zero Volume. (I can still make the volume go up and down, but it does not do anything because of the mute.) If no solution that can be done by me is found, I will Factory Reset, Resetting the volume.
Right click on the Speakers/Headphones icon on the lower right of your screen and select "Troubleshoot sound problems". Windows 10 will repair it for you.
aright what you gotta do is open up the "launch manager" which enables all the buttons found on the multimedia area plus else where to work perfectly. this even lets you program which applications you want to have when you press the other buttons
Well, I had the same problem too, so I called the acer support and solve it in a sec. You just need to close your pc, take the battery off for a few seconds, and put it back in again. Just as simple as that.... Good Luck!!!
Click the volume icon in the system tray (which is next to the clock on the bottom right of the screen) and click the mute button to unmute your computer.

Does your TV have a "half-mute" setting:
* press MUTE once to reduce the volume to 50%
* press MUTE a second time to reduce the volume to zero
* press MUTE a third time to restore the volume to 100%
Look on you system at the keyboard and you will find a key that toggles the mute if he pressed it. It will toggle between on and off. Normally the mute key or button will look like a megaphone and if it is muted it will have an x over it. Press it to unmute it. Sometimes if it is a key, you might have to press the FN, CTRL or ALT key while you press and hold the key that toggles the mute.
Another way to remove the mute is to Double Click on the megaphone if you see it at the bottom right near the time. This will bring up the volume control and you just remove the check mark from any that is muted.
Also you can click Start/Control Panel look for volume controls that might be muted and remove the check mark on mute.
Also click Start/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Volume Control and remove the check mark on muted items.
I assume you mean you CAN'T get volume back afer hitting MUTE on the remote. I also assume you have tried to hit MUTE again, and INCREASE VOLUME and they also do not work. Easiest first try is to change remote batteries and clean battery contacts, and cross your fingers. If you are using a programmable Universal Remote, you may need to try an alternate programming code ... sometimes the wrong code allows some functions to work and not others. If you can get your hands on a second remote, try it again and if it works, then your first remote is broken. If not the remote, as a guess it sounds like the mute circuit is latching-up (the electrical equivalent of a stuck switch). This can be caused by anything from a bad transistor (or IC) to a bad capacitor to ground on the mute circuit. If you can locate the mute circuit on the board you can try replacing these parts (a transistor or capacitor are probably inexpensive enough to try - an IC is probably not worth it, and you will live without the convenience of a working mute). You can also try to reheat the solder joints on the circuit board for the Mute Circuit section of the board -- just re-liquify the solder and get a shiney connection. If you have a bad connection or cold solder joint it could cause the problem. Obviously, DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO AVOID ELECTRICUTION - sets hold a pretty stiff charge even after unplugging them, and can really hurt if you get zapped.
if the little x over the volume bar is still stuck after moving it up you may have to hit the function key (fn) on your laptop and hit one of the F1-F12 KEYS that look like a mute or volume symbol also there should be a mute button on the laptop itself. if all that fails. go to (xp) right click on my computer -device manager-and see if you have a red or yellow x over your sound sound devices (win vista or 7) go to computer, sys prop on the top then device manager. if you see any of htose yellow or red warnings you will need to re-download the audio drivers from acer website Let me know if this helped.
use your mouse go to the speaker icon and uncheck mute if that doesnt solve it that means there is softwware corruption or there is a piece of hardware like your touchpad causing it to stay on mute
yes mine did that too, i believe that it has something to do with messing with the volume before the drivers load, that means that if you mess with the volume in a different operating system, during boot, at the welcome screen, or during shutdown....you miss align the pad lights with the OS volume level, so next time you shut down drop your vol. in the software to ZERO, then on startup get the touch pad to ZERO, (not mute) before windows fully loads and you login
I don't think you're stuck on mute I think you're having problems with your sound card. Go to device manager; if there is a yellow or red sign on sound then right click and try reinstall driver. Let me know if you have any questions. Pls rate this solution.
I had the same problem. Deatache the mute wire. That is for cell phones. I think it is the brown wire but I cant be sure. Look over the wiring diagram and it will say Mute. Don't wire this wire in.
