Hi Joanie. Actually, your sound problem you described on Techride was what inspired me to start this thread. I saw you mention your problem, and that you had it for a long time before finding out that you had to "deselect" mute. This is something that I would have had fixed for you in a second...oh well. Now as far as your machine "muting" on it's own, I think it's because it hates what your daughter listens to! <g> Actually, I had a machine that would do this whenever I turned off the speakers (or disconnected them). I guess it sensed that the speakers weren't on. If that's not the problem, it might be a software setting with one of the applications your daughter (or you) are running. I know that certain games will have the "no sound" option, that if selected will mute the volume control...and so rudely will leave it muted even after the program is shut down. Now a much easier way to clear the mute without trying to find volume in the help and going through that cluster-foxtrot, is to bring your cursor down to the "Start" toolbar. See that little thing that looks like a speaker at the end of it? Well, double click on it. Taaa-daa! Sound controls! Good luck and 909's, -Joe
