The Volume knob affects all sound on your computer, but each input can be turned up or down individually by adjusting the sound/mixer settings. To adjust the setting,
◆Your audio system may be muted. Press the Mute button on the keyboard. If the message Mute Off appears, you just turned off the mute feature; your system should now produce sound. If the message Mute On appears, you just muted your system; press the Mute button again to turn it off.
◆The subwoofer (optional third speaker) has its own volume control on the back; turn it clockwise to increase the volume.
◆Make sure that headphones are not plugged into the keyboard. If they are, sound goes to the headphones.
