[AppleTV2] Red Icon stuck in top right
#16
I had the same problem. Red mute icon was stuck in top right corner, and I tried every solution menitoned in this and other treads.
Edit guisettings.xml etc, but it always went back to -6000.

I found a VERY simple solution: Press the + key on your keyboard!

What I think happend was my iPhone app XBMC Commander overriding some XBMC audio setting and making XBMC play sound when it should be on mute, and to unmute XBMC is to just press + a few times.

Ta daaaaa...! Smile

Not sure if you permanently solved it, but I had something similar on my Android Remote: Problem solved here:

I had the same red mute icon when i installed XBMC Constellation remote for iPad. I solved this problem with the following procedure:

- Press the - or + button on your remote (in my case is the XBMC Constellation for iPad/iPhone) on the atv2 XBMC home page. The red mute icon should disappear.

Hope this helps.

This worked for me and I believe it really solves the problem. I installed an iOS app called Constellation to control XBMC and it seems to default the volume to zero. What I don't understand is why I was still able to hear sound but whatever. The point is that XBMC has built in volume control and that icon is user feedback that the volume has been muted.

@blankpolert, @Danymite
Having no keyboard connected to my HTPC i rely on my iPhone as a keyboard. I tried AirMouse (Mobile Mouse), HippoRemote and even the official XBMC app but to no avail. The issue was that I falsely assumed all [ + ] or [Speaker +] buttons are created equal. What DID work for me was using the simple keyboard layout with the punctuation characters (!@#$%^&*) and tapping the + in there. Worked a treat!

how about the simple Vol + on your apple remote?

I'm using OS X 10.8.3 and i'm not sure how to find the GUISettings.XML file to even edit it. I too am suffering from the muted icon/no volume

Welcome to the XBMC forums.

Have you tried the solution in the post right above yours? No guisettings.xml editing necessary.

I've tried every solution on this thread (apart from guisettings.xml as I can't find that on my PC) but this problem first happened today and I can't find a way to resolve it! Sad

Help!

(Edit: pressing F8 solved it)

Thanks everyone! I'm using AmazonFire and this totally worked so it's not system specific. My husband bypassed this thread because he didn't think it would work.

Great job and thanks again!

I tried the F8 key which is my computer volume key and it did not work. I tried turning up the volume while the movie played it did not work. But, I finally went to the analog side of my keyboard where the numbers are set up in a three by three format instead of the numbers above the letters on the keyboard and pressed the plus sign +, which is used for adding. It worked, don't know how but the mute button went away after trying everything else. So on a laptop it was my plus sign that took mute off and sound is back. Hope this helps, not too good with computers but good at trying everything until a solution is found.
