Henry,

I checked my settings again for these two you mentioned and as I wrote
above they were already off but I did not hear anything.  Still, I kept
on trying to mute/unmute others and got noise at some point.  Then, I
muted all and started to unmute them one by one.  After a little bit
more trial-and-error, suddenly it worked!  Interestingly, it turned out
that I really just needed to have that two Muted!  Why it did not work
before is beyond me.

Thanks very much!
