Tim, I don't recall it being all that low before restarting in recovery, but
you are correct in what you said about the p ram also helping. After I wrote
the message to the list, I thought about that, and was like... dang it I feel
smart right about now!
Not?
Chris.

Subject: Re: Strange issue with Mountain Lion Recovery
Chris,
First, your regular volume commands of F11/F12 are not usable in Recovery
mode or in ASR kinds of partitions. That's normal behaviour. Two ways to get
around this is to either press VO-cmd-right arro until you hear VO say
"volume", then press VO-cmd-up arrow to raise the volume. Alternatively, you
can reset the PRAM which will put the volume back to a default level which is
likely at a more ear friendly level. What probably happened is that her
computer volume was set really low when you restarted and entered the Recovery
partition so that's the level you get.
Hope this makes sense.
Later...

I have a client who has brought me her 2009 white 13 inch macbook as she
needed a recovery done of Mountain Lion and needed her drive wiped. I'm not
gonna go into the specifics, but her hard disk was pretty bad off, let's just
put it that way. Anyway, I've managed to get into the recovery, and with her
help, we got the installation started, but here is my questino. The startup
chime, as well as Voiceover with the Fred voices in the recovery is profoundly!
quiet! I can't hit F12 nor fn+F12 to bring it up any. Before you all say it's
gonna be way quieter than it is when you're actually booted into the OS... I
completely realize that, remember, I do this stuff for a living, but when I say
quiet, I mean quiet! this sucker's barely! and I mean, barely! audible!
Putting my ear literally touching the plastic casing of the system doesn't even
make it
intelligible. What in the heck could be causing this. She's paying me
hourly to do this, and have left the system in my care while running some
arrends. I'm just wonderring if there is anything maybe I coudl check that
could be going wrong.
Chris.
