How do I adjust the sound on my PC? I see a little icon of a speaker in the lower right edge of my screen but

I'm afraid something bad might happen if I click on it. Is it the right place to increase the sound level?

1. I use F1, F2, and F3 at the top of the keyboard

Nothing bad happens.

2. I hope so, because it's what I use for that purpose.

So far, I've had no trouble with it. Good luck!

3. You didn't say the OS, but if it is Windows, click it, or go through Settings-System-Sound

4. Yes. That's it.

When you click on it you will get a sliding bar you can adjust.

5. Use it!

It won't hurt, just help.

7. I will try....after warning hubby that I will do it. He knows I am a real f-up on the computer so...I must tread lightly

6. Click it - it will list all of your playback devices - headphones, speakers, bluetooth devices - try it, you'll like it.

8. Be a devil CT

I know you just want to up the volume of your head-banging music.

9. At times it may not be as responsive as you like.

It could be due to other processes running on your computer; for example. You might have a lot of browser windows and tabs open. You might click on it and have a delay to the click and drag responsiveness. The slider highlight will change as you roll over it with the cursor.

10. Don't worry, if you screw something up it is very simple to fix

by formatting the hard drive and re-installing the operating system.
