Windows 10: New updates on windows 11 affecting Sound controls on my keyboard

Good afternoon! My laptop had to be restarted to install the new windows 11 updates. After the installation, my Volume power was at 100% and was not getting affected by the keyboard controls. I have to manually reduce or increase the volume on EACH app I am using. The laptop I have is HP Pavilion, from 2022, with B&O integrated speakers. Before the update - I could control the volume with my keyboard. After the Update - I can see the numbers going up and down, but actual volume is a constant 100% unless I manually reduce it on by the specific app I am on. Any solutions you might suggest ?

Laptop Volume Control Not Working and Headphones Not Connecting After Update!!!

Hi,

It's possible that your device's sound drivers may have been affected by the update. As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest you run sound the troubleshooter on your device. To do this, select the Start button, type
Troubleshoot, and then select Troubleshoot from the list of results. Select
Playing Audio > Run the troubleshooter.

If the issue persists, we suggest that you update your device's sound driver. To do this,
Open Start , enter Device Manager, and select it from the list of results. Under
Sound, video and game controllers, select your sound card, open it, select the
Driver tab, and select Update Driver. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

For any results, kindly update this thread.

New Keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.



I would suggest you to Plug in the new keyboard into another system and check if that works.

As the other MS keyboard works fine, use that keyboard to get to the desktop. Once this is done then plug in the new keyboard and check if the system detects it. If not, then run the hardware troubleshooter and check
the status.

I also suggest you to install all pending updates and also update all device drivers from Device Manager.

To run hardware and devices troubleshooter follow the steps.

a. Press Windows Key +R, type
Control Panel.

b. Type troubleshooting in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.

c. Click on Hardware and Sound, click on
Hardware and Devices.

d. Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

Hope this helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We will be glad to assist you.
