SUMMARY
=======

This article describes the Select option in the Volume Control tool for sound
cards.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Some items in the Volume Control tool may contain a Select option instead of a
Mute option. If a Windows NT sound driver does not report that an item can be
muted, the Volume Control tool displays a Select option and does not use any
muting commands for the device.

The Select option is the opposite of the Mute option--an item must be selected
before it is enabled.
