Common mistakes.

  • A. While software controls like the OS volume mixer exist, function keys are the direct hardware-level control mechanism on the laptop itself and are not software-only.
  • B. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication protocol for peripherals such as headsets and speakers and does not control the laptop's own volume.
  • D. A WiFi switch enables or disables the wireless networking adapter and has no relationship to audio volume control.
