MessaggioThanks Robert, I have had a quick look and at first glance I can't find the box you mentioned. I will have a closer look later.

The check-box concerned needs to be unchecked for audio to work. I seem to remember that there is a hot key combination which will also de-activate audio but if I ever knew it I have now forgotten it. It may be that pressing the same key combination when audio has been de-activated would re-activate it.

My sounds have been muted and my wife has to help me out. Sometimes there is a tick in the mute box and sometimes the volumes are all down to zero. I don't know why this happens, so I wonder if anyone can tell me the reason. This could be your problem Jim.
