Are the screen reader and media volume the same? If they're different, 
how do you adjust them separately.

On my old XP computer, I ran Jaws at a certain volume level, but when I 
played YouTube videos, etc., I generally had to turn up the volume to 
hear the videos at about the same level. Since I didn't have to do this 
to all videos, I figured the problem was that sound wasn't properly 
adjusted on the video at the time of recording.

Now I'm using a netbook with Windows 7 for some tasks. Last night, after 
I finished my work, I played some YouTube videos to unwind, and what I 
noticed was that the sound on the videos tended to be louder than Jaws. 
The difference was significant enough that I had to turn the speakers 
down during playback.

I've always assumed the two volume levels were the same. Now I'm not sure.
