The audible battery app doesn't make use of the power meter, so that would not matter. It reads the status from an internal Windows API.
It's working for me on a Vista laptop, but I don't know for certain if the API it's using works on Windows 7; we'll have to see if anyone is successfully using it there. Also, have you added a second sound device, and redirected your Window-Eyes speech to the second sound card, and possibly have the default sound card volume down low or muted? The audible battery app uses the default sound card (as would all the other windows sounds), not the sound card used by WE speech. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Lanier [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 2:14 PM > To: 'Duyahn Walker'; [email protected] > Subject: RE: autible battery status > > Hi, > > Is your power meter running in the system tray? > > Warm Regards..
