Walt, There's a free utility named NirCmd which accepts commandline arguments, and will do various things with the soundcard including unmute it. I put a shortcut to it in my startup group, with commandline arguments to unmute the soundcard, and then when I restart windows and login it will always run and unmute things. My shortcut to it is: C:\chip\nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0 And you'll have to change the path to point at where-ever you put nircmd. NirCmd is actually included in one of the apps from Jamal Mazrui, (maybe Homer) but I don't know which one unfortunately; still, you shouldn't have much trouble finding and downloading it. A few anti-malware programs (such as Macafee) give a false positive warning that it contains a virus, which you may have to deal with if you have one of the effected programs. hth, Chip
_____ From: Walter Cone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2012 6:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Unmuting sound windows 7 Good morning all, My girlfriend has a HP netbook with Window Eyes on it. She was on Netflix and somehow her volume sounds became muted so she can't hear any prompts from Window Eyes. I tried to use the Windows key x but that hot key combination does not work any more. I could use this command and tab down 4 times and press space bar to unmute the sound. Is there a script or simple program to do this?
