    | I don't understand this at all.  I obviously have different hardware

    | playback: 'MME: Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input' and 'MME: SoundMAX HD

    | record: 'MME: Microsoft Sound Mapper - Output' and 'MME: SoundMAX HD 
    | Audio 1'.

Yes, selecting in dropdowns solely with arrows works fine in any dropdown in 
Preferences (including device selection in Audio I/O) - the problem seems to be
with Device Toolbar. I can click the dropdowns in Device Toolbar to expose 
the list and then use the arrows to move between all five items. It needs someone
else to check who has multiple sound devices. I have built in audio and USB
Soundcard, the mapping to SoundMapper, then two (redundant) modem lines.

    | I see what you are saying.  What I see is that if I have either Mixer 
    | Toolbar slider not at max and then change either of the devices in the
    | Device Toolbar, the sliders jump to max.  Maybe that's normal for my 
    | hardware?

I think you need to set the level with the Windows Control Panel, move the 
slider in Audacity, change device in Device Toolbar, and see if the slider moves. 
It shouldn't do, because if you change the level in Audacity it should be
making a corresponding change in the Control Panel.
