Hi,
I’m having the same problem using a late 2015 iMac. Have this been reported to Apple?

I’ve had the same problem with VoiceOver speech going silent when using the Finder in macOS Sierra, only using later model Macs and different voices. I’ve experienced this on all three of my Macs: 2011 MacBook Air, 2011 iMac, and 2012 iMac. I use Nuance Karen as my VoiceOver voice. VoiceOver speech goes silent when I’m using just the arrow keys to navigate the Finder in column view mode. I can get speech back again by interacting with the Finder browser and navigating up and down a few times using the arrow keys and the VO keys. Speech will then work normally again for a little while before I encounter the same problem again.

Also, forgot to mention this, but I think that ad was misleading. The last MacBooks to have DVD drives in them were I think either the 2012 or 2013 models. Someone can clear that up for me if I'm wrong but 2010 models were certainly not the last ones in them to have DVD drives in them.

Yep that would explain why Alex is crashing your computer. It's an issue with 2010 Macs that needs to be addressed but probably won't be. I would use a different voice.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks for that.  You are correct, it is a mid 2010 laptop.
It runs circles around my mac mini mid 2009 model, so I'm extremely happy with it.

Hey Chris, if you went to the Apple Menu and About This Mac, you could find out what year it's from. I kinda find that odd that a 2012 machine would have the Alex issue because it's only 4 years old but who knows. I know that 2010 models have this which is why I'm avoiding Alex like the plague until Apple fixes him. And I assume that you're running Sierra.2 so my question about Alex crashing older Macs like mine has been answered, and sadly it still is.

Hi,
I have a Macbook pro 13 inch with 16gb ram and a TB SSHD.  This is the
one that has the DVD drive on the right side.

I have the latest mac os installed on it.

From time to time using Alex the speech will just die.  I can still
move around the screen and hear the VO sound effects.  If I toggle VO
with command F5 it doesn't come back.  I must press and hold power to
get the computer up and running again.

Does anyone have any suggestions, maybe if I were to use another voice
other than Alex?

ChrisI could be in the middle of navigating around and poof, no speech.
It is random.
