Thanks very much everyone for your responses to the silent
computer problem. My friend did manage to reboot his computer,
and the sound seemed to come back of its own accord.
Nonetheless, he's had this disappearing sound problem before, and
its very hard to see why it happens.
I've passed on the volume control command, that is, sndvol32.
that's useful for getting straight to the mixer. However, if you
are not hearing anything at all, then its difficult to know
exactly what's going on if you cannot see the screen. The
Quickmix program, err, sounds the right approach to this problem
as it can restore mixer settings to how you had them. Seems it
could be a nice little add-on, placed in the start menu with a
quick access letter, to help people get out of this particular
hole. Goes without saying that whatever screen reader you are
using, if this happens to you, then a quick mixer restoration
must be a good thing if your only speech synth is via software
speech.
So again, thanks to everyone.
Ray

OK - don't know that one but, if you use JAWS, you could try
INS+F11 for Systray;
V for Volume;
Tab once and press "Enter";
Cursor down or press the letter "A" to adjust audio Properties;
Tab once which should take you to the Mute button. Press
Spacebar and
hopefully you'll come to life again!

It would help if I knew the volume control shortcut to type into
the run
command field, like typing Outlook to launch Outlook or calc to
run
calculator.

Ray, here is what to do. If you have to phone your friend, this
is what
he does. First, make sure that Jaws is loaded. 1. hit the windows
key.
2. hit the letter P. 3. Hit enter. 4. Hit the letter E. 5. Hit
the
letter V. Wait a second or four. 6. Now tab twice. 7. hit the
spacebar
once.
If you phone him and run him through this procedure all should be
well,
assuming he has his computer on Classic mode.

Hi list.
A friend, the same one who had to ddowngrade to Windows XP home
to use JAWS standard and who needed help with BT interenet, has
had another problem, and not just once. The speech and sound
from his computer have just vanished!
He's totaly blind so its very hard to tell him what he might do
to get the PC up and talking again. So, folks, how do you get
sound back when it vanishes?
No, the speakers are connected and OK, the volume is turned up.
There's just no sound. I think it is the mixer volume controls
being altered, most likely a mute setting. So, is there a
command, or some sort of script file that stands a good chance of
recovering lost sound? Such a thing ought to be possible to
help, at least in some cases. Any thoughts?
Ray
