Hi Jackie,

Yes, I agree with that, but I have never known sound drivers mute the volume
on an upgrade.  Lower it, yes, but not mute it.  Mind you, that's one good
reason to have a hardware synth to hand.  Good old Tripletalk!

All the best

Steve

Yes, and I concur with that.  If you get the volume suddenly mute, what
then?
