For some reason, my computer almost always turns on mute. The “mute” box is checked in “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties,” even though I sign of with it unchecked. And, although the box under it, “Place Volume Icon in the Taskbar” is checked, the icon doesn’t always show up.
I am working with Windows XP; I’ve also altered the msconfig settings to keep some things from loading on startup but sound doesn’t appear to be one of them…does this setting reside somewhere, perhaps the registry?
