Can't turn off MUTE Sound in System preferences

Mute is checked and its grayed out...so there is no way to turn my sound back on.
Yes, another fun thing in Leopard.
How do I fix this?
Thanks

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

Can't turn off keyboard sound on iphone when dialing. I don't want to hear the clicks. Any advice? It never did this before and just happened out of the blue.

All of the sudden my iPhone clicks when I dial a number. How can I turn off this annoying feature?

Did you already try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Maybe without using the latest backup afterwards, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem.

Capturing on a Mac- can't turn off the sound (still want to record the audio)

How do you turn off audio output during capture on a mac but I still want to record the audio?

Easy on a PC, I click the "speaker" icon at lower right of Windows screen and bring up the audio mixer and just MUTE Premiere, then I can surf the web, watch online videos, listen to music etc, without hearing the capture audio. Assuming that's what you wish to do? Must be a similar option on Mac
Thanks

How can I turn off message sound at night?

I have turned on notification sounds for arriving Mail messages using Rules.
This works fine, except that I would like to silence it at night since the sounds actually
interrupt my sleep.
I can do this on my Google smartphone. Why can't I find a way to silence the notifications
at some clock interval?
I have looked in the Sound panel of System Preferences too, but haven't found a way to declare a silent period..
Anyone know how to do this?

I neglected to make it clear in my original post that this problem occurs on an iMac running MacOS 10.7.5.
I saw similar threads referring to the iPhone, but this is a MacOS question..

Can't turn off iMessage sound

Despite sounds turned off in notification center for iMessages I still receive a swoosh sound on each new message.

HI,
In the Messages Menu there is an option called Preferences.
This opens the Preferences Pane which has several icons across the top.
One of these is Accounts
One of the Accounts in the List will be the iMessages one.
One of the other iCons across the top is labelled Alerts.
This contains several lines.
The top one is a drop down that then lists several Actions that happen with the App.
One of those actions is "Messages Sent"
It is common here to write Place to start > next step > followed by next step where the > means go to.
This is a series of Actions rather than path to a file such as Users/(your account name)/Library/Preferences
This way can be Copied and Pasted into the Finder's > Go Menu > Go to Folder > Dialogue box (if you substitute your name properly)

Can't Turn of keyboard backlight in system preferences after installing Lion.

After installing OSX Lion backlight on the keyboard on my Macbook Pro will not shut off even though it says it's not activated in system preferences. Is anybody else having this problem?

Ditto!
How did they miss it?

Can't turn off warning messages, tried trhough preferences, about:confing. Messages still appear. Please advice.

Using Firefox version 19.0.2 on MAC. Appears message: "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?"
In preferences there is no option to choose what warning messages display or not display.
Through about:config tried to change security.warn is set to 'false' by default; security.warn_viewing_mixed - too set by default to 'false'.

I have seen discussions of this issue that run over years.
Basically the programmer is deciding to show this warning to protect you, but they are not considering that by poping up this warning all the time, the user will ignore it and basically waste time clicking past the warning.
In effect it is not a warning but an ignored message. I spent hours working on something using firefox and I just got more angry as I was required to click the pop up again and again.
Programmers - this does not work and only annoys your customers. I know it seems like a good idea but in reality it isn't. Give the customer the ability to turn off and then you have met your security concern - since the customer will have to look up how to disable and the customer won't want to through out the software.
Enough years have passed, fix it.

My computer seems to be on mute and cannot turn it off. Its gray and does not give me the opion neither in the task batt or in systme preferences to turn it off. Already tried command PR and nothing...any suggesstions????

Under the Apple in "About this Mac" > "More Info..." does your system recognise the sound card? Have you tried an SMC Reset?
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.

How can i turn off the sounds of my camera

my camera will sounds even i was turning on my silent butten

There are three ways to mute. You can use the side switch, use Control Center, or hold down the down volume button until the window says mute.
Edit. No side switch on iPhones. There are two ways.

Help: How Can I turn off a sound bound to the CTRL key?

Hi, I made a small Unity3D game using the CTRL key as the fire button. There I added a sound to the CTRL key. Now all of a sudden that key always makes that sound "on mouse release". No help even after deleting the sound file, clearing the PR Ram, making restarts. OS X Yosemite on my iMac 5k will always make that sound initially only active during the game. Any help appreciated. Thanks Rolf

Problem found - there was a hidden web page open with a similar game that accepted the CTRL key. :-)
