This is correct. I dont' know if that would unmute, though. But I know there's another program that's supposed to be able to let you customize all your volume settings exactly how you want them, then with the touch of a hot key, all those setting will get restored.

There is a utility on the JawsLite page which permits you to adjust the system volume with hot keys. I used to have it and it worked. I don't remember what it is called but I am pretty sure it is still there.

Hi,
At least 3 times the computer has gotten muted and no one actually did it.
I don't think we have the keyboards with mute on them but sometimes
computers have minds of their own. I would imagine that people are not
muting it on purpose since the computer will not function properly for a
sighted person with Jaws turned on and muted. It is very frustrating
when it does happen, though. I kept thinking the Jaws was malfunctioning.
Now I get a sighted person to unmute it before I go into panic mode.
I would really love some way to do it myself.
