Yes, I tried that several times... still no VO.  I read on the Internet that 
someone had to turn the volume up at the login screen, but, I'm not sure how to 
do this... pressing FN F12 does nothing... when I log in FN F12 raises the 
volume and FN F11 lowers the volume, but I don't know how to get this keystroke 
to work at the login screen.

Thanks,

Russell
