Hello there; what operating system are you using, the quickmix, program, doesn't work with windows7. however, you can create a shortcut, for, sndvol.exe, which will allow you to tab and uncheck the mute button. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Safier To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: 'Alan Safier' Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 9:32 AM Subject: Turning on a muted sound system Hello all, On occasion my sound system is muted. I then need to have a sighted person to go to my desktop task bar and turn my sound system back on. What commands do I need to perform this task by myself? Thanks, Alan
