  3. Volume Mute Light won´t change color

    Ouch! All this for one line of missplaced code? I don´t have the skills to do all you suggest. I also discovered a problem with the HTMI Connection (via the DisplayPort and and DP/HTMI adapter). Video is fine on the TV but audio is only on the 6440. When I rh click on the speaker logo and open the box showing the playback devices I see a speaker (green checked) icon, a headphones ("not connected" but green checked when the headphones are plugged in) icon and two (!) TV Icons ( 2-Hi Def Audio device Digital sound (HTMI)), neither one says/shows "connected", even when the HTMI Cable, connected to the TV is plugged into the 6440. When I click on either one I open a box (properties?-translating from the Swedish "egenskaper") that says "activate" (or not) at the bottom but nothing happens when I click "ok". As I see it, when the HTMI cable is plugged in, it should be activated and the speakers muted, just as the headphones are/do when they are plugged in, right? Both say that the device is working properly. My old (I`m 72) head is going nuts trying to figure this out.

    Volume Mute Light won´t change color

    I can´t find anything that addresses my actual problem.I have seen that others have also experienced this problem but I have not found a solution that works. My ProBook was originally Win 7 pro, updated to Win 10 pro but HP won´t update because of its age (for me, brand new-just bought it a few days ago) so I don´t really know what to do. Sure, just a minor glitch but a very irritating one (that orange is just way too bright!) that should be a snap to fix (or not-I don´t know, I think my 4 year old granddaughter has better computer skills than I do!) English is not the default language so many of the commands must be translated-just another hassel to deal with. I finally found the systemconfig. box. Selective start and discovered that ALL the service boxes are checked. Good, bad, doesn´t make a difference: I just don´t know.
