Hi Jim and Listers, When I first started learning to use GW I had trouble with GW crashing JAWS and often the only way to recover speech was to reboot, which was frustrating because it often required me to start all over again with a project. In any event I discovered that JAWS and GW interface much more cooperatively after I reset all the controls in the visual tab of the user preferences to "blank." This in effect disables all the visuals which had been causing video intercept conflicts in JAWS. I have not had a bit of trouble with losing speech during the operation of GW since then, and this has held true throughout several updates of both applications.
HTH and best regards, Rob "Jayhawk" Tabor -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jim Hunt Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 5:12 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Goldwave/JAWS Questions Hello All, I recently heard that Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows XP in March of next year, 2014. With that in mind, I had asked a friend here in my area to install Windows 7 32-bit on my Netbook. So he did, and for a while, all had been going beautifully. I have Jaws 14 32-bit on the netbook, using Eloquence speech. For audio editing, I used Goldwave. Here is where I have run into a problem: I can use Goldwave fine for a while with JAWS and my Logitech ClearChat USB headphones plugged into a USB port, but after a while, JAWS stops speaking. Sometimes I can get JAWS to start speaking again by disconnecting the USB headphones, and eventually JAWS stops speaking altogether. At that point, I cannot even get my portable NVDA on my flash drive to start. When that happens, I ask a sighted person to read the screen to tell me what is displayed on it. With that information, I then save what I had been working on in Goldwave, close Goldwave, power-down the Netbook, and power it back up again and wait for JAWS to start speaking. I have noticed two interesting things: JAWS and Goldwave do not behave this way on the bigger, faster Dell laptop that I have, neither do they behave strangely when using NVDA on either machine. The problem I mentioned above only happens when I use JAWS, Goldwave and the USB headphones on the Netbook. So, could this be a problem in JAWS, a USB port issue on the Netbook, or is there something I am or am not doing? If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to solve the problem or get around it, please do feel free to let me know on or off list.
