Hi. I asked about your problem on the blind hams net this afternoon.
WA0VJR, Butch Bussen, suggested that you go into Window-Eyes's speech
synthesizer settings (under devices in the tree view) and choose the sound
card that you want to do the talking. On this Olympus laptop, there is a
list box with two items. One of them is "default card" while the other is
"speakers, RealTech High Definition". You want to move off the "default
card" setting to whatever is available on your PC that works. I think you
then need to save the settings. The idea is that when the Kenwood driver
is connected, it assumes that the transceiver must be the default sound
card, and apparently this behavior is difficult to alter. I think that
there is a GW knowledge base article on assignment of sound cards to
synthesizers; I don't know its exact title or number. Hope this helps.
In addition to our 20-meter net, we have a roundtable of blind hams on 7191
KHz on Saturdays at 4 PM Eastern Time. I think that you are in
Pennsylvania, so some of us should be able to hear you if you have a
40-meter antenna.

Subject: Re: W E and Kenwood TS590 USB Connect
Thanks to those of you who have made suggestions. I tried another
driver file for the Kenwood whichc a kind person sent me off list, but
that produces the same result. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that
the conflict may be with the sound card. It is an HP desktop computer,
less than a year old, so I was really surprised to find this occurring.
But, since I think all of my sound gos away when I connect the Kenwood,
it may be the sound card. I looked in the system devices and could not
find any indication that the card was stealing a com port, and I have no
idea where to proceed from here. My next step will be to try to get some
sighted assistance to see what may be happening.
Of course, any further suggestions would be helpful, and again, thanks
to all who have written. I am slowly considering just using a serial
port, but converting USB to serial port involves more wires, and I
already have an over abundance of them. LOL! Also, the very concept that
the USB port is on the radio and this will not work for me is a personal
mystery and I don't like unsolved ones! My plan is to use the
computer/radio for logging purposes.
Thanks to all, 73/88/33,

Hi to all of you amateur radio ops out there. I'm hoping you can help with
a problem I cannot solve which occurs on several computers, all that I've
tried.
I am trying to connect my Kenwood TS590 to my computer via USB port on
radio to one of the USB ports on computer. I have 5 USB ports. I have
tried all of them. I tried another computer as well. I have installed all
drivers for the radio. As soon as I connect the radio to the computer,
Window Eyes just disappears. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions out there.
