To mute and unmute on a Mac keyboard, there are a few different methods you can use. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Using the “Mute” key: The easiest way to mute your MacBook’s sound is by pressing the “Mute” key, which is usually located in the top right corner of the keyboard. It looks like a speaker icon with a diagonal line through it. Just press this key once, and all system sound will be muted.
2. Using the “Volume Down” key: Another way to mute your MacBook is by using the “Volume Down” key. Press and hold this key until you see the mute symbol appear on the screen, or you can press and release the key repeatedly until you reach mute status. The mute symbol looks like a speaker icon with a diagonal line through it, similar to the “Mute” key symbol.
3. Adjusting the volume in the menu bar: You can also mute and unmute your MacBook’s sound by adjusting the volume in the menu bar. Look for the volume icon, which is typically located on the top right corner of the screen. Click on the icon to open the volume slider, then drag the slider all the way to the left to mute the sound. To unmute, simply drag the slider back to the desired volume level.
4. Using the Touch Bar (for newer MacBook models): If you have a MacBook with a Touch Bar, you can quickly mute and unmute the sound by tapping the volume icon on the Touch Bar. It will display a speaker icon with a diagonal line through it when muted, and the line will disappear when unmuted.
5. Using keyboard shortcuts: If you prefer using keyboard shortcuts, you can mute and unmute your MacBook by pressing the “Option” key and the “F10” key simultaneously. This will toggle the mute status on and off.
Remember, muting the sound on your MacBook will silence all system sound, including notifications, media playback, and audio from applications. To unmute, simply follow the same steps and adjust the volume back to the desired level.
I hope this guide helps you easily mute and unmute your MacBook’s sound.
