There is a button to mute and unmute the sound. Use f10. If you press f10 and nothing happens you likely have your function keys switched to work with software functions. If this is the case, use the fn key and then f10. The fn key on the bluetooth keyboard or Macbook keyboard is the key in the

Hi heather, F10 is used to toggle Mute on and off. F11 to turn volume down and F12 to turn it up. These keys have been available on Macs since back in the 90s but have just lately been made standard both on the Desktop and laptop keyboards to be F10, F11 and F12. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McM

Hi, yes, I agree with you. There are a lot of keys that they need to allocate. I wish they would just allocate as many sensible ones as possible and use the Keyboard Commander, and switch all commanders on by default! Cheers Dave On 29 Oct 2010, at 07:07, Sarah Alawami wrote: > yeah after a lo

I know if you have a macbook, I think you can use f12 to turn the volume back up! But, I think I know what your saying, a button for muting and unmuting. My dell used to have a button that did this at the top of the laptop by the on button. Perhaps mac will consider this in the future. Heath

Hello Julie. I have had this problem where VO was muted and it did not matter whether it was checked or unchecked in the VoiceOver utility panel. When I would bring up VoiceOver with "command+F5" it would say "VoiceOver on speech off." Well, it turned out that I had to turn it back on with my Tr

If it does not work, here is the steps for unmuting speech with the keyboard. vo-f8, (or on some it is fn-vo-f8) brings the voice over utility. Hit s for speech and tab twice to the mute speech and deselect from there. BY hitting vo with space bar. Heather -- You received this message becau
