Is There Any Way to Enable Sound in Safe Mode

Hi. Sometimes when you're troubleshooting things (like Apple's OpenGL implementation may be faulty, results garbled screen at least for Radeon 4850 Mobility but not when it's in safe mode), you need sound as well for browsing solutions if it's in video. How do you, if there's a way, do you enable sound when you're in Safe Mode?

Thank you in advance.

You can’t. From this document: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

Some features don't work in Safe Mode

Safe Mode can be useful for troubleshooting. However, certain Mac OS X features do not work in Safe Mode. For example, you can't use DVD Player, capture video in iMovie, use audio input or output devices, or use an internal or external USB modem. The behavior of some devices such as wireless networking may vary depending on computer and Mac OS X version.
