thanks, Charles, I did try your suggestions except I don't have another keyboard to test that out. I can control sound in iTunes with its control and any other application that has a slider and the keyboard keys look like they are reacting but only mute works. There are no effects when I try to lower or increase sound.This just happened recently as I was able to control sound on the system with the keyboard not too long ago.
