Sound on computer
12 Answers
My computer is generally muted and when i want to hear anything i just take the mute off by clicking on the speaker icon in bottom right hand corner. Then a little sliding volume thing came up and a mute box to click. I cant click on the icon now though, like i used to - how can i get mute off???

Thanks for that - i have the icon with the red circle and white cross which i know means it is muted. What i cannot do is right click on it to undo the mute. I think it may be to do us dismantling everything to put the computer in a cupboard, i think it seems the speakers are not setup properly eventhough they are intergral! Hope that makes sense i know what i mean just bit difficult to put over in writing!
have you done any updates .... I'm set up for headphones - the slidey mutey thing only comes up after a 2 or three second left click - also an option to right click and open the volume control control. in there you can switch between Playback and recording
and either show or hide the icon
In propertied you can add/remove controls - and you can hide or show the speaker icon
but I don't ever remember seeing any options to change or enable/disable the clicky bit
do the speakers work?

when we initally set up the computer it had the problem we have now. A young computer minded friend happened to visit and he made the sound work. Then i used the slide control thing by right clicking. Id forgotten all about that problem til now when we took everything apart to put in a computer cupboard, connected everything up and my daughter then reminded me of the original problem which we are experiencing again. When i right click there are 3 options - playback devices, recording devices and sound and a 4th option open volume mixer (which i believe is the one i need) which is greyed out.
