Slide the volume slider

The volume control slider is easy to use. With your mouse, grab the little "handle" (by clicking on it and holding down your mouse button) and drag it up or down (or left and right). Moving the handle up (or to the right) makes the sound louder, while moving it down (or to the left) makes it softer.

Next to the slider, you'll probably see a small box titled "Mute." If the mute box is checked, you won't hear any sound at all, so make sure it's clear.

Note: A mute box also appears in the control panel, so if you still don't hear sound, it's likely that this other mute box has been checked. You'll see how to access the control panel and the mute box in the next few steps.
