Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 volume control
Hello Rick Thanks for the instructions. Just one observation: jaws is supposed to be installed without sighted assistance but the last few times I needed sighted assistance because at the beginning of the install the install program says that it wants to make changes to my system. this does not talk, so there is no way to get to the stage where jaws is speaking without sighted assistance. I find this a bit unfortunate of software for the blind.

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 volume control
Hi Rick Sorry for these stupid questions but I am stuck and my wife is not very computer literate. It seems that you know much about these technmical matters. After I installed win 7 and it restarted I noticed that there was not that familiar windows sound. Do you think it can be the volume which is muted or turned down. What worries me is that my wife says that there is A picture on the system tray which indicates that no speaker or headphone is plugged in, although my speakers are plugged in. It is an onboard realtech sound card. I tried to activate the windows narator but there is still no speech. Any suggestions will be helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 volume control
Hi Fanus, Have you made sure that the speaker volume is turned up, and that the speakers are plugged into the proper jack on the soundcard? The RealTek on-board soundcard has three jacks, and the one in the middle should be the speaker jack. You may need to go into the device manager, and locate the soundcard, and see if Windows is recognizing it, if it is not being shown in the volume mixer. Alternatively, if you plug in a USB headset, Windows should choose it as the default, and all sounds should come thru it. Even if you haven't installed specific drivers for the soundcard, Windows comes with generic drivers that will allow it to work with basic functions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 volume control
Great tip Rick. With your method, people can get to places much quicker than mine and its good to be aquainted with the search box and how it works. That was just the first thought that popped into my head when I saw the email. I didn't even think about your method, which I like better than mine because it doesn't take that long haha. Take care.
