P.S.
I just remembered that your original inquiry said that someone in your
office was in the habit of turning down the sound on the computer, so that
you couldn't use it after they had. Well, again I take the chance that I'm
not understanding the problem correctly,but I have to ask why they do this
in the first place? Is it just in order to silence Jaws because it annoys
the sighted user? Jaws is certainly worse than an annoyance to a sighted
user, actually, because it can prevent normal computer usage and Web
navigation using the mouse. Can't you get them just to turn off Jaws?
Teach them to press Insert F4, hit Enter, and that's that? So, next time
you boot up, if you have Jaws set to load at startup, everything will be
fine. Or even if you don't have Jaws set that way, so long as the
computer's running, you can use your hotkey to start Jaws.
As I say, maybe I'm still not understanding this. But that's what I think I
remember being the source of the problem. A person or persons at work who
need to be instructed to simply turn off Jaws if they're using the computer,
rather than play around with the system volume.

Yardbird et al:
Thanks for your posts, but the problem is that when I start working on
the machine, there is no sound. While I can easily set up a speed key
to start jaws, and I do, I cannot hear anything if they have sound
muted. Hence, I can't hear all the prompts that would help me if I can't
immediately hear jaws talk.
Maybe FS could build in a speed key for reliably un-muting the sound
card?

Hi,
How about getting to the same set of controls a little more quickly by
just
pressing Insert F11 to put up your system tray list, hitting enter on
the
Volume option, and proceeding from there just as Michelle suggests?
Just another possibility.

Hi, cjr,
If you're talking about System sounds, here is the procedure.
1. From the Start menu, press S for Settings then C for Control
Panel.
2. Press S until you get Sounds and Audio Devices and press ENTER.
3. Make sure the Volume page is selected. If not, press CTRL+TAB
until you get it.
4. Press TAB until you get Device volume Mute and press SPACEBAR to
uncheck it.
5. Press ENTER to close the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties
dialog box.

Hi All...
Often I go to use a computer in our office and that person has the sound
muted. Is there a way to reliably unmute the system with a jfw speed key
or other method?
Thanks,
cjr
