To all that offered suggestions for my sound problem, eureka! After placing
the "speaker" icon in my system tray, I was able to right-click the speaker,
choosing "open volume controls" option. Sure enough, there was a box checked
to mute all! Thanks to you all for your help!

Signed,

Grateful Cliff
