Rod, Sorry about the "Rob". Just noticed.

Found I was occasionally hitting the 'mute' button instead of the power button, or by just occasionally by getting disoriented on the keyboard. Have a sighted person show you where the 'mute' button is, and perhaps this can help you, as it did me.

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
