First of all I have a second USB sound card, so I am not worried. 2. Second of all, I have always aloud my computer to download and install driver updates automatically, no problems after many years of doing so. 3. Third of all, These updates for the apps and icons and maybe drivers, come from the manufacture of your computer according to this setting, as far as I understand. If you know for sure differently about this, please share...thanks...Smiles... -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: Friday, January 27, 2017 4:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Device installation settings Just a note on this: Randomly updating device drivers is not a highly recommended practice, especially if they are not from the original device manufacturer. Updating device drivers is only recommended when it adds additional security, or fixes a specific problem. Having said that, they should be otherwise left as they are, since updating them can result in unexpected problems.
