Hello, I recently purchased a pretty basic computer to do some Win7 testing on at home until the final OS is released. The machine came with audio listed as VIA VT1708B 8-channel high-definition audio. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this at all.
The sound for music is fine but what I'm finding is that with any synthetic speech unless I have audio playing, the speech is cut off at the beginning of each audio phrase being spoken. It is almost as though the audio needs to kick in. This is prior to installing Win7, so just with Vista. It happens with several screen readers. I've used a variety of sound cards and audio and not experienced this before. If there's not a good solution to this, any suggestions on a basic sound card to use just for the synthetic speech for the screen readers? For what it is worth, the computer specs can be seen at http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11331092&whse=BC&Ne=4000000 &eCat=BC|84|56671&N=4035033&Mo=36&No=5&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&cat=78518&Ns=P_Pr ice|0||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&topnav=.
