Subject: [Blind-Computing] Sudden Loss of Sound
Hi listers. My Dell workstation running XP Pro and JAWS 9 was working
fine last evening, and I stepped away to have my dinner. When I returned
to the computer, I had lost all sound including JAWS and Windows sounds.
Since I wasn't working on the computer at the time, I could not understand
why I would suddenly lose all sound for nlo apparent reason. I shut down
and then rebooted using the power button, but still no sound. Finally, I
had a sighted neighbor watch the monitor to see what was going on. He
said that after I rebooted , a message appeared onscreen that said
something like press F1 to continue. So he pressed F1, and the computer
proceeded to start up with the Windows log on jingle and finally, the
"JAWS is ready" announcement and everything was apparently restored to
normal. This has happened a couple of times before. What could cause
such a sudden loss of all sound? Thanks for any feedback.
Gerald
