bottom right corner click the extend bit then double click the speaker and adjust form there that's for xp though can't think how to do it on vista.

[Baph]

Left click the speaker icon (I'm assuming Windows of some variety), then you'll be presented with a slider & a tick box.

Un-tick the tick box (labelled "mute").

Mine's a cold one. :) ;)

Start -> Control Panel -> Sound settings

Should do the trick


Or the old IT support suggestion

"Have you tried switching it off and on again"

[davepreston]

thats the bit that wont let me open it

[Spiderman]

Right click the speaker icon down by the clock if you use XP and it should open to a bigger thing with lots of volume controls on. Make sure none of them has the mute ticked.

Or alternatively, PEBKAC - suggest you attend GP surgery for ears checking.

Sorry Dave. :lol:

Go the control panel way then as SK says

[davepreston]

bottom right symbol wont open start control doesnt offer me any setting changes only tells me ive got speakers and there working. i can hear sound from the music and stuff on my hard drive but not the internet

[davepreston]

its f ing vista by the way

[Alpinestarhero]

Go onto internet explorer, go to tools, then internet options then the advanced tab, and scroll down to the multimedia section. there should be a "play sounds in webpages" icon ticked?

[TEC]

Press the Windows key + Run - In the box type sndvol - press enter, should have volume control box open

If sndvol doesn't work try sndvol32

[davepreston]

tec still nowt

[Alpinestarhero]

is there a similar options thing in firefox?

[davepreston]

NO:confused:

[Baph]

With Vista, you can mute individual applications - it sounds like this is the case. To un-mute it, you need access to the mixer application (sndvol32).

If you don't have access to that application, see the MS Hot fix I linked earlier. I also believe SP1 fixes this (as the hotfix is included), but I've no personal experience of that.

Eh? No sound control panel or nothing to untick?

Afraid I don't really have any idea about FF or Vista but if muted sound on web, try this ...

Go to a youtube video that has noise (this one does (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri6CuVb7_Ek) ;)) Once it starts to play click on the sound/volume icon

[Spiderman]

switch it off and on again mate. Its propably just freaked out for some reason, as they do.

[mikelcfc]

if its just mozilla then maybe re installing it would put it back to default settings wich gets sound???? maybe

[davepreston]

dony know how got upset hit keyboaed a bit and wolla sound no more messing with this crap for me cheers people

[xXBADGERXx]

Is it a laptop Dave ? , some of them have specific Mute keys on them or maybe Firefox has a mute option in that doesn`t affect any other Vista Application ?
