on the far right of my task bar has a red "x", meaning it somehow got turned off ~ I've looked and can't find where I changed anything ~ this has happened before but I don't remember what I did to turn sound on again ~ any suggestions?

I'm not sure HOW/WHY, but it's fixed now and I have sound back ~

It's magic...

On my Win7 Pro version, I just have to left click on the icon. It brings up the volume control which has an up or down bar for sound. As well, you can left click on the volume icon on the open display to mute/unmute the speakers. A red X usually means it's muted. For future reference.

Thanks, roseanne ~ yes, I'm still on Win7 ~ and I tried all that before posting ~ then I started poking around and finally restarted my computer ~ VOILA! ~ the red "x" was gone and I had sound again ~ weird, I know ~ or, as jab says, "it's magic" ~
