Ok, I'll try that -- just did, found what you're talking about, but only can hear "slider 2," but cannot determine any changes, and if slider 2 is the microphone of the output of the phone, (microphone over the line) that would be nice to control in some way. I tried re-classing in Window-Eyes to see if the "custom control," could be made into a "up down control," or some other scrollable control, no luck, no difference in the amount of change viewable, as you say by a screen reader. I made the assumption that these sliders were for headset volume and microphone volume of the headset/USB devices, did not know they could make a change in the magic jack volume which is quite high over the phone, here. :) Thanks!

It may say slider one and slider 2 slider 2 iss the microphone vvolume. After you change the volume, be sure and tab around to the OK button, which all so saves your changes.
