I will try here to provide a summary of all that is known about 
accessing GameDay Audio.  I'm answering a couple private queries and 
a list all at once.  Remember as I go through this that there are 
several ways of accomplishing something in Windows.

First, it is my experience so far that the system works.  When I 
don't get audio, it has been because I wasn't signed in, even though 
sometimes I thought I was.  Beyond that, I can't help with the no 
audio problem.

Here's what I know.

the link to get you straight to the Multimedia Center, where audio 
links are found, is this:

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mediacenter/index.jsp

I tend to do this backwards.  I go to the game, knowingly get no 
sound, sign in, then refresh the media player page.  So to get to the 
game, the easiest way is to search for the radio station that carries 
the game.  You can also use table navigation to peruse the available 
games.  the station will be a link, activating it will bring up the 
media player, but you won't hear anything yet.

At this point, alt-tab back to the media center and use the links 
list to pull up Register - Login.  When you reach this page, find the 
fields for email address and password.  the system seems to retain 
nothing between sessions, so enter those.  You'll then get to the 
member info page.  Now alt-tab back to the media player and hit F5 to 
refresh it.  Shortly, you'll hear sound, unless you're in a 
commercial break for one of the networks that silences them.

thanks to Kelly Ford, we now know that if you're using windows Media 
Player 11, and perhaps earlier editions, you can control the volume 
of the stream independent of the synthesizer using windows Media 
Player keystrokes.  to do this,  turn off your screen reader's 
special web navigation mode, whatever it is called.  For JAWS users, 
hit insert-z, window-Eyes users, shift-Ctrl-a.  Now shift-tab until 
you hear something like "unnamed-20."  Now, experiment.  with WMP 11, 
F8 lowers the volume and F9 raises it.  In WmP10, F9 and F10 are the 
lower and raise keystrokes.  You may or may not need to use your 
screen readers pass through or bypass key; I didn't have to do so 
with JAWS 8.

I'm sure many will correct this post, and as I say, one can do things 
in a different order than I do them, but I'm trying to answer several 
questions in one post.
