i think jaws needs to have an audio ducking feature like NVDA has and you could turn audio ducking on or off and also have jaws detect whether your pc volume is muted or very low and turn it up to 30% or 40 percent if needed when starting jaws and unmute sound so you can hear it.

While I totally agree video often interferes with trying to hear jaws when navigating websites, in Ie11 if turning off multimedia sounds wouldn't everything get disabled like Youtube videos and any sight where you wanted to actually hear the audio? with

Not sure, but try this if using IE. Go to Tools, Advanced Options,
MultiMedia, and unselect Play Sounds in Web Pages. It will require a restart
of IE to take effect. Hope this heps.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to turn off annoying video that plays on web sites

Hi All,

I was attempting to read an interview on the Rolling Stone web site,
but almost as soon as I open the site, some really loud and very
annoying vvideo starts playing and I can't figure out how to turn it
off. The problem is the video is so loud that I can't hear jaws to
explore the sctreen or to read the interview. I'm pasting a link to
the interview if you care to see what I'm talking about. Is there a
jaws command that will turn off this noise?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kimber
