Adrian and others, Are you referring to the ducking feature of JAWS for Windows 8 and 10, or to the new feature of latest JAWS 2018 build, that recovers audio volume automatically?

While completing an online form, I had a broadcast muted in another window. The form required me to refresh the screen from time to time. Each time I pressed JAWS key+escape, the broadcast came back on. It was an annoying distraction. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Fernando Gregoire Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2018 3:42 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Unmute key combo I respect your opinion, Maria, but unmuting as it was implemented seems me a bad idea. In addition to when starting JAWS (which is right), this is done every time you press JAWS+ESCAPE to refresh the screen or virtual buffer. Freedom Scientific says that this doesn't affect muting of the synthesizer with INSERT+SPACEBAR, S, but what if you only use Braille and, even when you work with no speech or have speech muted temporarily, you want to mute also other computer sounds? I think it would be better if this would be a setting in the Basic Settings dialog box and JAWS Startup Wizard instead of a mandatory action from witting any call to the RefreshScreen script. These imposed automatic adjustments makes me a bit angry, for example the fact that I can't lower the JAWS volume in Volume Mixer less than 20% because it is reset automatically to 100% when I try to continue down to 19, 18 or the value I want. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Maria Campbell Sent: Friday, March 16, 2018 4:53 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Unmute key combo To VFO, that unmute key combo may be the best thing since place markers.
