You can individually mute or un-mute as many playback sources as you wish.

balance sliders to center it.
Depending on the number of available playback sources in your PC, the number of horizontal and
vertical slider may vary, and a scrollbar may or may not be present. The viewing area on the
Mixer Tab displays controls for a maximum of four playback sources at one time. Use the
Playback Source Scrollbar (if present) to reveal more source controls. See Figure 14.
