I don't know of a volume up/down or mute keystroke, but occasionally
when pushing my keyboard into it's drawer the mute button is pushed.
Besides multi-media keyboards, sometimes the monitor has mute buttons as
well, so I would see if anything is accidentally hitting either of
those.
Otherwise I get around waiting for sighted assistance by making a hot
key which goes directly into volume control. That way all you have to
know is to push the keystroke you assign, and tab twice, followed by
space to uncheck it. all the other checkboxes are every third push of
tab.

Subject: [j-say list] accidental sound shut off
Hello all,
for the last few weeks, my sound has abruptly cut off, three times. 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
used by mistake to mute the sound?
I have been using JSay6 and Dragon (2008 releases) and this is happened
only a 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
keyboard and accidentally shutting off the sound again.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks,Ariane
