There are programs, but many either cost money or try to convince you to
do things that don't need done and can cause more harm. The best way is
to check the optional windows updates when you check for updates, they
often have drivers. Failing that, your best bet is to look in device
manager to find the make and model of the device, then check the
manufacturer's website for a newer driver. Realtek, for example, at
www.realtek.com.tw has been updating its hd audio drivers regularly for
the last six months or more, and I think the sound loss is becoming less
frequent. The big problem with updating sound drivers this way is that
the computer may stop talking during the process if you don't have an
external synthesizer.

As I mentioned in a previous post sound loss when I encountered it was
for both we and win7. Since updating all drivers including realtek hd
I have only experienced 1 loss in a month. So I suggest if your
computer is over 1 or 2 years old you make sure all drivers are up to
date.
By the way running win 7 32 home prem with 4 g ram.

Hi Everyone,
I hate to say this, but this thing with Window-Eyes not speaking some
times, is really getting worse. I wish that Microsoft would fix
Windows so this wouldn't happen. It happens with System Access, as well.
I don't have enough fingers on my hands to count the times, I had to
restart Window-Eyes with the control-altW this morning. lol. I was
going down a list of files in a folder, and it just kept stop
talking. No matter what I did. Even the insert backslash didn't work.
Also I loose my sounds atleast once a day, and sometimes more.
I know that my computer isn't locking up, as I'm able to shut down
without speech.
Is Windows Seven 64Bit more stable than Windows Seven Home Premium 32
Bit?
I do know that the folks at GW Micro are doing their absolute best to
fix this problem. <smile>
Thanks much.
Blessings,
