Hi Folks, I'm using a Windows XP home machine, running the standard on-board sound card and Jaws 10 latest build.
I also have a V-Tech Skype cordless phone. I find that when I leave the phone plugged in, and restart my computer, Jaws does not come back speaking. The program is active, but Jaws simply isn't speaking. I have turned on NVDA and have confirmed that Jaws is active as when I press enter on the Jaws 10 icon, the Jaws menu pops up. To resolve the problem, I have to shut down Jaws and restart it. Does anyone know if this can be by-passed or maybe eliminated altogether? As a side note, I have confirmed at one point, when I picked up the phone to make a call right after re-booting my computer, as I was speaking to the other party over the telephone, I noticed that Jaws was coming through the hand set of the cordless phone. Keep in mind that this does not happen if the phone is unplugged as I reboot the computer, or when I shut Jaws down and restart it after a reboot. If I am going to get Jaws coming over the Skype phone, it has to be used right after a reboot and the phone plugged in. Oh, I should also note that Jaws will not come through the handset unless I'm on a call. If the phone is just sitting there, Jaws will not come through. Does anyone have a solution or explanation as to why this is happening? I have surmised that the Skype phone is taking the place of my sound card at start up, but this wouldn't explain why I am able to get NVDA or other windows sounds through the computer, but not Jaws. I have confirmed this happening on, both my desktop computer running a Quad Core, and my laptop, running a dual core processor. Any help would be appreciated.
