Be careful with those built-in sound cards. They are really no more, in most cases, than chips which are mounted onto the mother board and they are only minimally compliant with any kind of sound card standards. That is part of using talking systems on some kinds of older laptops. The sound chip sets are usually proprietary mess of some sort with window$ drivers written and compiled in-house by the manufacturers.
You would have to reverse-engineer those drivers, a rather complicated process which either involves a very detailed knowledge of the workings of the hardware components of a computer or a rather spectacular understanding of artificial intelligence to make the binaries into c or other language source code without having the original symbol tables generated by the compilers If you can do this, go for it. If not, I would suggest either replacing the entire thing if someone can either get you one or if you can find one for sale at a reasonable price in a local newspaper. Also ask local businesses in the area if they are going to be getting rid of some they have. Find out what kind they are and what they have on them. If you cannot do this, just use your braille lite as the speech synthesizer until you can get a new sound card for the one you have. Just select it at the beginning when that menu comes up, If possible, get a sighted person to help you, and it should work for now. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
