I experienced the same thing, except that I'm using Jaws 13. After
experiencing the problem you described, regarding selecting audio and then
copying that audio to the clipboard, I got the same message you heard.
I ended up going back to Goldwave 5.58, which is what I had before.

Subject: GoldWave not speaking status information
Hello everyone.
I recently obtained GoldWave 5.61. I'm definitely pleased with what seem
to be a bunch of new accessibility-related features, though I haven't had
a chance to try much yet. At any rate, I used to get plenty of feedback
messages from the programme, which would speak the name of the file that
was open if I, for example, alt-tabbed over to the goldwave window, or
used alt-f6 to switch between files. I could also get JAWS to speak the
name of the file by hitting alt-shift-o, the file format, cursor position,
markers, etc. I noticed I was having some problems with the scripts, which
would seem to hang the programme whenever I hit insert-h or used some
other commands. So, I searched around and realised I wasn't using the most
up-to-date version. The laatest I found was 1.60. Installed these, and I'm
still getting very little voice feedback, though there doesn't seem to be
any more hanging issue. Everything in the programme seems to work fine,
but if I select a piece of sound from
a file, and copy it to the clipboard, jaws will say "nothing selected".
This is simply untrue as I've tested and know for a fact that a selection
has happened, but for some reason JAWS and/or scripts are just not
tracking things correctly. None of the information keys seem to work; I
can't even get the time of the current file, and using alt-shift-o to
speak the current open filename only results in the word "file" being
read. I can see the information is there on the screen using the jaws
cursor, but I don't want to have to do this every time. It's particularly
annoying when moving between files because I don't always know which one
is open. I've turned off visual metres, and all other elements that I
think might be getting in the way of proper functionality. What's going on
here? Has the layout with GoldWave 5.61 changed so much that JAWS simply
can't find the relevant information anymore to read? Can I adjust anything
to make it work? Do I have to regress back to GW 5.57
if I want my status read? I realise that the scripts are not really
essential but I got used to being able to quickly check things like open
file status, elapsed time, marker positions, etc, and editing will take a
whole lot longer and involve more guesswork if I can't do this like I used
to. I keep thinking I'm missing some obvious setting. Any ideas at all?
I'm using jaws 11 by the way, which worked fine with v5.57 and even the
older scripts.
Thanks.
JM
