I ran into a jaws error here that surprised me.
I had been recording an audio stream with Total Recorder when I got a
blue screen with a dcm error and had to do a hard reset to restart my box.
When the machine came up, the audio devices were all jumbled up. This
came as no surprise as this will happen when Total Recorder crashes
and does not close down properly but stays set as the default audio device.
jaws did not load completely when the computer came back up and this
did surprise me as I had had jaws running with my 14-year-old Keynote
External Hardware synth. I would have expected possible problems had
jaws been set to use software speech when I had the Blue Screen but
since it was set to use my hardware synth, I had not expected any
problem by the mixed up sound devices as the Keynote external does
not show up among the windows audio devices at all.
I could not restart jaws properly at all until I had had the audio
devices sorted out using my sighted husband's sighted assistence to
properly reset the windows default sound device to my pci soundcard
and then fixed up the rest using nvda and rebooted the box.
Why did jaws not load properly when it was set to use my hardware
synth as the default profile?
any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks bunches.
Doris
