Hi Terry, I suspect what you may have done is to set the sound output to 
digital. That being said correcting it without either speech or a screen is 
going to be well nigh impossible, as you wouldn't be able to navigate to the 
control to change it. I aggree with Steve, even if you personally don't need a 
screen it provides you with a way of sorting things like this given sighted 
assistance. I think the answer's going to be to buy or borrow a monitor.
                    John.

  Hi all

  Was hoping someone could help with the following.

  Quite a few weeks ago now, I was playing around in the media settings, and 
obviously pressed something that knocked my sound settings out, as I have no 
jaws, and no vista start up tune.

  I don't have access to a screen, as I didn't buy one with this desktop.

  I was hoping that someone could go through the key strokes and write them 
down so I could try to follow them, in order that I can try to restore sound 
settings.

  I was considering two options, either system restore, or either restoring the 
pc to its original out of the box factory settings.

  I would prefer to try system restore first, but at the end of the day, I'll 
try anything.

  With the restore option, it would obviously need someone with sight, as those 
options can only be run as the pc is booting up.

  It would be really good to have this desktop back up and running.

  I don't know the model name of the HP desktop, but quite often I think the 
function key is the same, and only changing according to manufacturer.

  thanks for any help

  Regards

  terry
