•Problem: A volume or balance slider cannot be moved.

Solution: The slider might be grayed out. This means that its position is fixed by the hardware and cannot be changed.

•Problem: The volume sliders do not stay in place when some audio applications are used.

Solution: It is normal for the sliders to change position when certain sound applications are used. The applications are aware of the Volume Mixer window (in Windows XP, Volume Control window) and are allowed to change the settings themselves. An example is the Windows Media Player. Usually the application has sliders available to control the sound from within the application.

•Problem: The volume sliders do not all fit in the Volume Control window in Windows XP.

Solution: Press Ctrl+S keys while the volume control is in focus, and toggle to a smaller size.

•Problem: The balance slider cannot completely mute one channel.

Solution: The control is designed to compensate for minor differences in balance and does not completely mute either channel.

•Problem: There is no volume control for MIDI sound on the Volume Mixer window (in Windows XP, Volume Control window).

Solution: Use the hardware volume control. In Windows XP, use the hardware volume control or the Wave volume control on the Volume Control window. This is because the Built-In Synthesizer Software does not support the control.

•Problem: The sound cannot be turned off completely even if you set the Master volume control at minimum.

Solution: You can still hear some sound even though you have set the Master volume control at minimum. To turn off the sound completely, go to the Master volume control and select Mute speakers (in Windows Vista and Windows XP, Mute).

•Problem: Sound does not come from a headphone or a speaker, or your computer cannot record sounds when the SmartAudio is set to MULTI-STREAM mode (Windows Vista).

Solution: To switch from one device to another (for example, from a speaker to a headphone, or from an external microphone to a built-in microphone), do as follows:
