hp pavillion dv 5000 mute button light off.

[tseven]

the mute button light doesn't turn on when i turn the mute on and it's supposed to. do you think i need a windows 7 driver for that? There is only vista and xp drivers however. should I get the vista one? which driver would it be?

Welcome to seven forums tseven: Naturally if their is a driver the most current one is the one to use Vista. It could be in any one of the quick launch keyboard drivers. Are you using 32 or 64 bit? Here are the vista drivers http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=499849&lang=en You can install it in compatibility mode. click on the setup.exe file> properties>check the run in comp box>select Vista> install

I tried installing the latest driver but it says it's not compatible with windows 7.

Hello, I was also having this problem with my HP dv41120us and found a solution that works!

The mute icon on my keyboard keeps on making a sound whenever it turns to orange color. Also most of the time, my laptop just freezes and I'm thinking might be something related to my sound device. Most of the suggestion here says you have to reinstall your sound driver. They are correct but you need to install the correct driver else they won't work.

The driver I used is sp41693.exe which can be download from HP (just google it I'm sure you'll find where to download it). Hope that helps. Good luck!

Hi guys,
I know it is an old problem. But i launch it by search when i looking for the same problem. I have Hp Pavilion dv6 1446ee and my laptop has been infected by the virus turned off my security center service and download a lot of spyware and Trojans in the short time. After solving this problem and made computer secured and protected, i found that there were some damage in my drivers. I found the same problem with the mute button in QLB top of the keyboard. I tried to download and reinstall the sound driver and it is good now.
