    Hi, I've been having this problem ever since I upgraded to Windows 7.
    Even when the computer isn't muted, the light is orange, and doesn't change when I touch the button.
    I have all the latest updates from the HP website and I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Its not really a big deal for me, but it's just annoying.

    While the computer is booting up, the mute light is white, but after Windows loads, it turns to orange.

    Anyone have any ideas to help me fix this?
    Thanks

    I just answered this one for someone else a couple days ago. You don't have the right audio driver. Use the one from HP not from Windows Update.
