Thank you, .. Right now I can find no reference to a volume control on my taskbar. I'll keep looking for it in case some other keystroke brought it up by accident.

Hi, I have had this happen to me. There seems to be somekind of keystroke that effects the volume control. Ensure that the volume control is not open and is not visible in the system tray. This should solve your problem.

Not just jaws speaking, but all sound including chimes etc. even when the computer is rebooted, which does not resolve the problem. I have had to ask someone fully sighted to locate an icon on my taskbar to un mute the sound with a mouse.Big question-is there a combination of key strokes that I accidentally usedby mistake to mute the sound?I have been using JSay6 and Dragon (2008 releases) and this is happened onlya few times in a year or more but lately three times in two weeks. I rarely use the control keys or tab keys because I am clumsy using them,and mostly use voice commands but now I am fearful of touching the keyboardand accidentally shutting off the sound again. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks,Ariane
