I think Leon is referring to this: You can raise the volumes, but you may still have no sound if they're still muted. Raising the volume controls doesn't cancel a mute switch, and lowering a volume control to zero doesn't switch on the mute. They're independent. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
