Hello Joni, If you are running windows seven you can: 1. press start button 2. type in adjust system volume and press enter. 3. tab once and press spacebar to unmute I hope this helps. You can mute it the first time you try this and the next time it will unmute the computer. If you do this a few times you will get comfortable in doing these steps.

I have muted twice and rebooting the first time did not undue the deed. I had to get my husband to unmute with the mouse. So, if I have not invoked mute with the JAWS key spacebar s sequence then using that will not unmute? Does that key combo just mute JAWS and not system sounds? I am afraid of muting again and not being able to undo it independently if I am the only one at home at the time.

Joni, what model and make of keyboard are you using? is it a laptop - with an Fn key? Or with a Bluetooth keyboard? Maybe you're using the F3 key, with Fn mode enabled? (I know that On some keyboards, when the Fn mode is on the F4 key can do different things depending on proprietary stuff, wireless, or what-not.)

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unmuting with JAWS 14
That's the mute speakers button, by pressing the tab key once. The Mute System Sounds button is four tab further on than that, so you'd press the tab key five times to get to it. An easier command to type, is: from the Start (search box edit); sndvol . (You may remember sndvol32.exe on older Windows 32-bit systems.) You get straight to the dialogue box, typing less, that way. - Original Message - From: Ryan West westr...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, March 14, 2014 11:52 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Unmuting with JAWS 14 Hello Joni, If you are running windows seven you can: 1. press start button 2. type in adjust system volume and press enter. 3. tab once and press spacebar to unmute I hope this helps.
