I didn't know about that either but I fooled around with f10 and that took care of the problem. > On Nov 19, 2020, at 11:51 PM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > Try using VO + Equal sign to raise the volume. If it is muted, this will > unmute it. > > - Brad - > > > On Nov 19, 2020, at 23:48, Lorie

Check the volume. Try turning it up. Make sure mute is not somehow turned on. Try plugging in headphones in the jack on the back, or connect a bluetooth device. These will use different audio configs. Toggling VoiceOver off/on won’t change anything. If I think of something else, I will post. -

If you can wait a little for reports on how your music tools work with the new M1 devices, one of the just released Mac Mini systems may well suit your needs. Performance reviews have been impressive so far - and I've read reviews from several sources. On 11/12/20, 19:42, "Steve Matzura" wrot
