Volume off can\'t turn on

[arbyrdgirl]

My volume is off and I can't get it back on. Email arrival has very soft ping sound but that is the only sound coming from the computer. Any help appreciated

Did you check the volume setting in the the notification area by the clock? In Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices? Muted something by accident?

Speakers get unplugged? What have you tried so far? What happened right before the issue?
