**Sound Diagnostics**

**

Overview**

This program will set the Sound output volume and record volume on a Windows PC. Often customers will have thier sound volume turned down or muted. With the Microphone they sometimes don't have it selected.

Goal is to let user easily test speakers (sound out) or microphone and automatically fix any windows settings that are wrong (sound muted, etc.).

**Use Case**

Our typical user is Grandma Mary, a 73 year old grandmother who has only had a PC for a few months. Now her Windows sound isn't working. She doesn't know where to look for the volume settings, etc.

We want to show Mary a simple form (window) that will let her quickly and easily test her speakers and microphone and adjust the volume settings in Windows if they fail the test.

We want it to be easy enough for her to do it independently, or as independently as possible.
