I'd like to share some info, which I have posted before, but is worth repeating, with regards to losing sound.
Firstly, with regards to the ding sound which is generated by the windows operating system. I some times lose sound after hearing the ding sound. This happens in explorer, Firefox, internet explorer, wordpad, notepad, outlook express, and thunderbird. My solution: I unplug the usb connection for my headset, and WE7.2 starts speaking via my external speakers. I then replug my usb headset and everything is back to normal. In this case, windows lost sound to my headset, which is a known bug to all windows operating systems. Now, another known bug for all windows operating systems is that keyboard stops functioning. I use a wireless keyboard, and when I lose sound, I hit windows key on my usb keyboard and sometimes my sound is back. In this case, my wireless keyboard stopped functioning. Now, sometimes the usb keyboard is not responding either. In this case, I unplug the usb keyboard and wait for a ding sound, and then I replug the usb keyboard, and this sometimes does the trick, and keyboard is working again. However, sometimes the lost of sound is caused by a WE7.2 crash. In this case, I use a batch file to unload all three gwmicro programs, and restart WE7.2, and I am back to normal. However, sometimes after restarting WE7.2 after closing it using the batch file, nothing works on the keyboard, except control alt delete, and nothing in that menu works except shutdown, which is the icon on the lower right. Good luck to all.

To: [email protected]; [email protected] Will have to check it out. Usually, like I said it is in outlook and the sound I am most interested in his the speech, but you raise an excellent point.

Is it just speech you're losing, or are you losing all sound along with it. These are quite different problems, one is something to do with window-eyes, the other is a sound driver/microsoft problem.
