Hi dear
Monitor Volume Control
In order for the volume control feature of the Presario xx25
monitors to work correctly with the computer, it is necessary for the
monitor to be powered on at least 8-10 seconds before the CPU. Try
removing the computer and monitor from any surge protector or power
strip that they may be attached to, and turning on the monitor first,
then the computer itself.
3rd Party Video Cards
The volume control on the 1425, 1525, 1725 and FX monitors is a
digital control. It sends its commands via two conductors in the
monitor's VGA data cable. The corresponding points on the VGA connector
on your 4700 series Presario accept this signal. A 3rd party video card
would not have this functionality built in. Most times, it just means
the remote volume knob ceases to function. You can still adjust levels
with the software. In some cases, however, a 3rd party card can cause
the volume to either drop or go full on with no way to control it. One
possible solution is to turn the computer on and let it fully boot up
BEFORE you turn on the monitor. This way the monitor's remote volume
function will not be initialized and you may be able to use the
software volume controls.
You can if you want, go to any Computer parts store and purchase a
VGA extension cable. You will need to remove pins 4 and 11. This cable
will be installed on the monitor cable and then to the card itself. The
rest of the manufacturers cabling will remain the same. You will lose
the use of the volume control knob on the monitor. If this is not
acceptable, then you will need to remove the card.
