Well, your problem is a simple one. jaws sees your phone as a second sound card device. Sense it is plugged into the USB port. the reason you can hear jaws except when on a call is, because the phone is only active when using skipe. The fix for this is to tell jaws to use your sound card in the jaws.ini file sense you are using xp. You will find the fix and the reason why jaws does what it does with your phone. http://search.freedomscientific.com/search?q=sound+cards%2C&output=xml_no_dt d&sort=date%3AD%3AA%3Ad1&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&client=FRESCI&proxystylesheet=FRE SCI&site=Support At 10:22 PM 4/27/2009, you wrote: >Hi Folks, > >I'm using a Windows XP home machine, running the standard on-board >sound card and Jaws 10 latest build. > >I also have a V-Tech Skype cordless phone. > >I find that when I leave the phone plugged in, and restart my computer, >Jaws does not come back speaking. > >The program is active, but Jaws simply isn't speaking. > >I have turned on NVDA and have confirmed that Jaws is active as when I >press enter on the Jaws 10 icon, the Jaws menu pops up. > >To resolve the problem, I have to shut down Jaws and restart it. > >Does anyone know if this can be by-passed or maybe eliminated altogether? > >As a side note, I have confirmed at one point, when I picked up the >phone to make a call right after re-booting my computer, as I was >speaking to the other party over the telephone, I noticed that Jaws was >coming through the hand set of the cordless phone. > >Keep in mind that this does not happen if the phone is unplugged as I >reboot the computer, or when I shut Jaws down and restart it after a reboot. > >If I am going to get Jaws coming over the Skype phone, it has to be >used right after a reboot and the phone plugged in. > >Oh, I should also note that Jaws will not come through the handset >unless I'm on a call. > >If the phone is just sitting there, Jaws will not come through. > >Does anyone have a solution or explanation as to why this is happening? > >I have surmised that the Skype phone is taking the place of my sound >card at start up, but this wouldn't explain why I am able to get NVDA >or other windows sounds through the computer, but not Jaws. > >I have confirmed this happening on, both my desktop computer running a >Quad Core, and my laptop, running a dual core processor. > >Any help would be appreciated. > > >Victor >Co-moderator >Blind Movie Buffs List >Guidedogs List >Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: >http://www.jaws-users.com >Visit the Blind Computing home page at: >http://www.blind-computing.com >Address for the list archives: >http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] >To post to this group, send email to >[email protected] >To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to >[email protected] >For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the >subject or body of a blank message to: >[email protected] >Use the following address in order to contact the management team >[email protected] >If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the >following address: >[email protected] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [email protected] Use the following address in order to contact the management team [email protected] If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [email protected] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [email protected] Use the following address in order to contact the management team [email protected] If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [email protected]
