No. I thought of that -- because that one's bitten me before -- and I 
checked. The sound is not muted.

I can hear sound coming from somewhere in the tower, which is rather 
weird because I don't see a speaker anywhere. I have the tower standing 
on a plywood riser under the desk. The speakers are sitting on top of 
the desk. The sound is definitely coming from the tower. Adjusting the 
volume control on the speakers only generates a bit of static from the 
speakers.
