Hi,
I took a look at a utility I've heard about but never bothered to find out what 
all it can do.
Wizmo from grc.com is a very handy command line utility that can do many 
windows commands.  You can change the volume level, open or close a cd drive, 
force windows to shutdown even when it doesn't seem to want to and more.

I setup a windows shortcut to run wizmo, unmute the sound card, and change the 
volume to 80
%.  I gave it the name of unmute and setup a hotkey for the shortcut.

This way if the sound card ever becomes muted I can press the hotkey and wizmo 
will unmute the sound card and set the volume at 80%.

There are many other options for wizmo and they're all on the web page.
