Hi, David Thank you for pointing me at these possibilities as it has allowed me to fix the problem! As you say, it’s unlikely to be these but, when I was double-checking, I noticed that a few things were not as they had once been…for example, the attributes volume was set higher than other volumes and, in addition, somehow the verbosity option had changed to speak changes when attributes changed rather than do nothing!
I have now, yet again, reset all volume levels to my choice and updated the verbosity settings and will keep an eye on how things go from now on. Thanks again.
