[nfbcs] [gui-talk] IE9 Download and Recording through the soundcard in Windows 7

Sat Oct 22 18:37:59 UTC 2011

Peter,

I don't know if this is particular to my sound card or not, but if I bring up the start menu and type in the word "Volume", 
one of the options is Adjust System Volume.  I also get an item that says "Show or Hide speaker icon on the Task 
Bar" which might be of help.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
