Thank you , I do have an attached special keyboard that may have a button that
accidentally mutes my microphone located too close to the pause key.
I'm waiting for someone to see if they can find it.
I have no idea how to create a hotkey for a volume control, I will try to
contact my instructor who is presently on vacation. Regards, Ariane

I don't know of a volume up/down or mute keystroke, but occasionally when
pushing my keyboard 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
