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 settings in the Volume Mixer 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 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 in the Volume Mixer window.

Solution: Use the hardware volume control. 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 Volume Mixer at minimum.

Solution: You still can hear some sound even though you have set the Volume Mixer at minimum. To turn off the sound completely, go to the Volume Mixer by clicking the speaker icon on the takbar, then click Mixer. Click the Mute Speaker icon..
