Subject: [NJTechDiv] two ways to adjust system volume on Windows computer

 

Hi all,

 

It turns out that there are two methods to adjust the system volume on a windows computer.  The first is in the Start menu by searching volume and then using the arrow keys to adjust it.  Strangely, this method stopped working on my work computer, so my IT person taught me the second method using Jaws layered keystrokes.  Insert Space together, V, and then S.  Then use the arrow keys to adjust the system volume.  Note that System Volume is different from the Jaws volume.   I hope these two methods are helpful to others.  The first method still works on my home computer.  Anyone have any idea why not at work?  I'm using the same version of Jaws, except the Home Edition here and Professional Addition at work.  I'm using Windows 11 on both computers, although it's possible one computer is ahead of the other as far as windows updates.

 

Thanks,

Serena
