Hi Chris and all, Thanks a bunch for the info.

Two of them are as follows: First, bring up the Launcher with alt+f1. Now arrow down to System Settings and press enter. Hit tab once and then arrow over to the Sound icon. Press enter and look for the Output page and the Output volume slider. Second, get into the indicators with the alt+f10 key. Hit the left arrow a few times until you get to the sound indicator and hear something like "volume 47%". Now you can down arrow until you hear "volume 47%" again and using the left and right arrow keys will change the volume. You can also down arrows to Sound Settings and press enter to get to the same applet above and look for the Output page and the Output Volume slider.
