Try pressing insert + space then the letter S. JAWS will say "speech off". Then press insert + space, then S again. JAWS will say "speech on." It should no longer be muffled. I have to do this on my laptop occasionally. This never happens on my Windows 7 desktop at work or my Windows 7 desktop at home. I've not seen it on studets' machines either. I suspect it has something to do with specific sound drivers. Fortunately, it's an easy fix at least for me.

Cc: Marsha Subject: Muffled Jaws all versionse: Accessibility with office 365 Hi I really need some help. Jaws sometimes becomes very muffled to the extent I can not hear it. It is in both Jas 14 and 15. If I switch to Winamp, It plays properly. Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be? Thank you for your help.
