Jaws and Windows sounds are sent to the default audio output device. If this is not functional, then plugging in a USB sound card or USB headset will over ride the settings and become the default audio output device. No software installation is necessary, Windows will have all the drivers it needs. You can then configure your settings in order to restore sound to your preferred audio output device.

Plugging in a USB sound device will override your default sound output and allow you to solve any problems you have with your sound card.

Can you restore your computer anyway possible without speech?

It would seem my husband decided to install some updated drivers on his computer last night, now no speech, no window sounds come up. The computer does boot up and he has just enough sight to see that it's on the desktop, but no windows sounds and of course no Jaws...

The driver was for Creative Sound Card. I just have no idea how to fix this without any speech.

He uses xp pro and Jaws 9.
