At times, you may receive notifications on your Mac without sound. I'm not sure if it was a combination of preferential treatment AND ONYX, or just ONYX, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my system works cleanly from this point on.Real-time notification is an important so that you don’t miss an important email or message. It's been several days, and the volume button is still working. I've used other optimization tools before, but this seemed to have at least some effect.

After restart, the volume button began working again. I then tried ONYX, checking just about every 'system optimization' option in the menu. Unfortunately, after restart, the volume problem seemed to persist 😟 Rather than take any chances, I trashed them.

I noticed my Logitech preferences came up, but there was no OVERT indication that they were problematic, etc. That being said, I have used 'preferntial treatment' in the past, so I tried that first.

I didn't bother using Diskwarrior-partly because they don't offer a free trial, and partly because I've heard as many real-world horror stories as I have real-world good reviews of that product (both from colleagues): I didn't feel confident trying it at this point

Besides, since I'm getting on-screen (false) feedback re: volume, the button itself is obviously functioning.Ģ) The 'keyboard' and 'universal access' preference panes are in the same state they were in before the issue began-and they don't look to be the problem.ģ) 'International' Keyboard settings are indeed set to US English, as they were when I bought the machine.Ĥ) As stated above, I do not have Application Enhancer.ĥ) I do not use speech recognition, so that's not applicable.Ħ) I just downloaded and installed the newest logitech driver for my mouse (a simple, 2-button USB mouse which was working perfectly before the issues began), and initially, the volume seemed to come back-but as before, the problem occured again.įYI: The volume button seems to return to normal functionality randomly after any restart-related actions (shut down, restart, P-RAM, reset permissions, etc), but nothing makes it CONSISTENTLY return to functionality. Here's a rundown of what I did in response to your suggestions:ġ) I do not have Application Enhancer installed, so that's not an issue.Ģ) As I mentioned in my first post, my sound preferences are in the same state as they were before this problem began, so that also doesn't seem to be the issue.Īlso-As far as the document you pointed me towards goes:ġ) My keyboard is basically new, so there's no dirt. Thanks for your info, but the problem still occurs.

Once, the volume control was restored, but it was subsequently lost again, and was unable to be recovered with further PRAM resets.ħ) I have not installed/used any new programs and/or software in months.Ĭan someone please help with this? I know it's not an earth-shattering problem, but the buttons should work, and I've become reliant on them since my iMac purchase. In short, I'm now forced to use the menubar volume slider to change my volume.ġ) All of the other keyboard buttons work normally (brightness, expose, etc).Ģ) I have checked the sound preference pane, and nothing has changed-the preferences were exactly the same as when the buttons were functioning (ie: volume change 'feedback' is checked, etc)ģ) I recently added a new printer, but that was a month ago, and the volume controls have worked normally after installation for weeks-so that is not the problem.Ĥ) I have repaired disk permissions several times.ĥ) I have started from the system CD and repaired the disk.Ħ) I have re-set the PRAM 3 times. Upon pressing either the 'volume up' or 'volume down' buttons on the mac keyboard, the semi-transparent volume indicator appears on my screen, and the small white 'cubes' indeed go 'up and down,' but there is no audible feedback, and the volume itself does not change. I've been using my iMac G5 with no problems for months now, but suddenly I've noticed that the volume controls on my keyboard don't work.
