Les, I really don't think this is related to Window-Eyes. You could google for this problem and model of sound card, and if you get a lot of hits, you'd know it's not. There is a commandline utility (free), which should allow you to place it in your startup dir with commandline options, and it allows you to do things with sound cards, including setting all the parameters to presaved values, or values specified on the commandline. It's name is nircmd, and you can google for it, or I think it's included in the homer library app. I have placed a copy in a directory on my pc, then I located the startup dir for my user, and put a shortcut there to this .exe with the following commandline parameters which cause it to unmute my default sound card (I think you can specify the soundcard name if you want to do this to another card): nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0 hth, Chip
