As [[User:MusicallyInspired|Brandon]] has noted, sometimes it appears as though F2, or toggle sound, works and sometimes it does not. The problem arises out of sci companion's compiler. While there are no errors thrown, the compiled script fails to mute or unmute the sounds.

<div class="CodeBlockHeader">Code:</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="sci">(procedure public (ToggleSound)
(var SOUND_OFF)
= SOUND_OFF DoSound(sndSET_SOUND)
= SOUND_OFF DoSound( sndSET_SOUND not(SOUND_OFF) )
(if(SOUND_OFF)
SetMenu(MENU_TOGGLESOUND smMENU_TEXT "Turn On")
)(else
SetMenu(MENU_TOGGLESOUND smMENU_TEXT "Turn Off")
)
)</syntaxhighlight>

Luckily, fixing the procedure isn't too difficult. The logic of the procedure, if you can play the sound then mute, otherwise unmute. Simple enough right? So here it is.

<div class="CodeBlockHeader">Code:</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="sci">(procedure public (ToggleSound) // mute, unmute
(if(DoSound(sndSET_SOUND)) // if true, mute
DoSound(sndSET_SOUND FALSE)
SetMenu(MENU_TOGGLESOUND smMENU_TEXT "Turn On")
)
(else // must be false, unmute
DoSound(sndSET_SOUND TRUE)
SetMenu(MENU_TOGGLESOUND smMENU_TEXT "Turn Off")
)
)</syntaxhighlight>

Simply replace the whole procedure with this new one and the game will respond correctly regardless of which editor you use to compile the script.
