Chris, First, your regular volume commands of F11/F12 are not usable in Recovery mode or in ASR kinds of partitions. That's normal behaviour. Two ways to get around this is to either press VO-cmd-right arro until you hear VO say "volume", then press VO-cmd-up arrow to raise the volume. Alternatively, you can reset the PRAM which will put the volume back to a default level which is likely at a more ear friendly level. What probably happened is that her computer volume was set really low when you restarted and entered the Recovery partition so that's the level you get.
Hope this makes sense. Later...
