I think what Dave is describing is on certain web pages such as ESPN or CNN, there is an audio of a story they are featuring running when you enter the web page. The audio, often, is unrelated to a link that you may have followed to the page and the audio can make finding the print story difficult with a screen reader. What Dave is asking and I'd like to know also, is there some way to stop or silence the audio story that automatically starts when you bring up one of these web pages so that it's easier to use one's screen reader.
