When I've had the problem, I can confirm that I've only had 1 or even many applications open, and it does not matter which applications.
I do think that it has to do with the sound card, but I have nothing to base that on.

And it hasn't done it since. I'm writing this email and jaws is reading what I'm writing, and windows media player is playing music in the background. So far so good. Like you said let's see what else people say, and of course I'll keep on I on it. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: March 16, 2016 5:35 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [Bulk] Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: strange sound with jaws Off hand I am not certain, let's wait for some others on here to offer their opinions. Personally I haven't encountered this problem for over 10 years or more. There might be some setting or another that needs tweaked, this is strange for sure. Does it do it all of the time?

This is a new laptop. 3 months old. Is this something I have to do my self, should I take it back to where I bought it? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: March 16, 2016 12:48 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [Bulk] Re: [JAWS-Users] strange sound with jaws In the past that would often happen with sound blaster cards, but I haven't heard of it for a number of years. Consider updating your sound card driver.

I was sorting my documents folder. Cutting and pasting various word and text documents into various folders. All of a sudden jaws started speaking with a lot of static. Think of listening to the radio and all of a sudden you hear all this statacky interference. I unloaded jaws and restarted it and now jaws is speaking properly and clearly again. Has this happened to anyone before, any ideas what would cause this?
