Good thought; on the inspiron series there are 3 buttons at the top
right of the keyboard. They are very wide and thin, and separated from
other buttons into their own group of 3.
The left-hand one of these is the mute button, while the middle and
right are volume down and up respectively. Unlike other systems,
pressing one of the volume buttons does not unmute an inspiron, so
you'll need to play with the mute button, and turn up the volume in case
it's too low.

Larry,
If you are getting no sounds including sound effects from your
laptop and a sighted person verifies that JAWS is still running, it is
possible that you inadvertently muted your sound card. I found out the
hard way that my laptop has a dedicated mute button.
You may want to have a sighted person check your special
function keys for a mute key and show you where it is. If there is
none, have them open your system tray, double click the volume icon and
see if mute is checked. If so that is your problem. Uncheck it.
Regards.

Silent Laptop
Hi Folks,
This morning while in the middle of a project my laptop simply
quit speaking.. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running Jaws 8 and
windows-XP.
A sighted colleague told me that I had the desktop and all of
the windows functionality however, I get absolutely no sound not even
Narrator or Windows load sound.
Any ideas how to make this thing talk?
