Hi Daniel, That thing you're calling the volume control is actually the slider that you move up and down to calibrate the mic. You have to speak the phrases as they are written, and if the Mac recognizes the command, you'll hear a little "whit" sound. You want to get to the point where you're hearing that sound most of the time. HTH, Donna On Jul 31, 2012, at 4:31 PM, Daniel <charad...@gmail.com> wrote:
