[il-talk] JAWS Question

[Robert Gardner]

The other replies you're getting about going to the control panel will work, 
but there's usually a quicker way on laptops.

I have two laptops, an Asus and a Dell.  On the bottom row of keys, on both 
laptops, there is a "function" key in the keys to the left of the space bar. 
On both laptops, the left-most key is the control key, and the one just to 
the right of it is the function key.

So on the Dell, to raise the volume, you hit "function-page up."  To lower 
the volume, you hit "function-page down."

On the Asus, to raise the voulume, you hit "function-F12."  To lower the 
volume, you hit "function-F11."

If you have another brand of laptop, an HP or Toshiba or something, those 
combinations above might not work.  But surely, there must be some similar 
combination that will work.

Are you using a desktop computer?  Usually, your plug-in external speakers
have a volume adjustment on them.

Are you using a laptop?  If so, there is a very quick way to change volume.
I have two different laptops, and it's different on each of them, but still
very simple.

Let me know what's your setup.

This feels like a really silly question, since I've been a JAWS user for
more than fifteen years.  Nonetheless, I'm asking.  How does one adjust the
volume in JAWS?  All of the explanations I've been able to find online seem
very complicated, and I am pretty sure there's an easy and straightforward
way to do it.  Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Debbie
