How to Use the Audio Mixer on a PC
Adjusting the sound on your PC can be a very easy process. It is really just a matter of clicking and adjusting the volume. The audio mixer will also allow you to change the basic sounds on your system. If you don't like the way your computer sounds when it starts up or if you don't like the sound it makes when you are done downloading a file, you can change that.
