Sound when i try to click on my hp laptops sound button it dose not work a second time, how do i fix it

Check your BIOS settings. I had the same problem with a 8440P. It has been a real Odyssee to find the solution, but I turned out the integrated audio device was disabled in the BIOS.

Try the following:

1. Unplug the power cord from the laptop.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
4. Re-insert the battery.
5. Plug in the power cord.
6. Try turning on the computer.

load that driver, now.
if that fails, the hardware is bad, get it fixed.

I have had this. Unplug the laptop, take the battery out and hold the power button for 30 seconds.

HP told me this was caused my "excessive charge on the mainboard"

The above process drains the charge

I beleive the drivers you need are "quick launch buttons" you'll find everything you need on at this link http://www.hpdriverscenter.com/index.php?id=hd204&gclid=CK74-ZeDkJwCFZkA4wodOHcjYA

Try removing the battery and using only power cord to turn the laptop on. If that fails, try turning it on without power cord, just on battery.

If none of those work, then most probable cause of your problem is motherboard. Hopefuly you are either under manufacturer warranty or you have extended warranty with your vendor where you've purchased the laptop.

If your laptop turns on on power cord, but without battery, then battery is the problem. Also, if laptop turns on when it's only on battery but it doesn't when you plug ac cord in it, then the adapter is the problem.

Hi, my problem was that I had trouble turning my laptop on. It had been getting worse over the last couple of years. It was suggested that the power button should be replaced. While searching the HP site on how to do this, I ran across a solution that said to take out the battery, unhook anything else that might be connected to the laptop, and then press the power button for around 10 seconds to drain all remaining power out. Then put battery back in and try to turn on. It worked! My laptop now turns on and off just fine! Hope this can help someone else....Linda P

This could be a simple driver glitch. Try uninstalling the audio drivers from the device manager, then reboot. The machine will find he sound card and reinstall the drivers automatically. Then go to HP's support site and check for any updated sound drivers or patches. If it's a glitch this will fix it. Keep in mind that it could also be a hardware problem with the mute switch, so if the driver procedure doesn't work, you might consider having it serviced.

I was having a similar issue. My volume button worked fine muting and unmuting the volume, the light just stayed red either way.

I went into Device Manager, then expanded the Sound, Video and Game Controller options, I rolled back the driver and it was an instant fix for me :)
