Sorry Peter if I said that. No, I do not think there are any system sounds either, hence I'd guess that the master volume control has been muted. With this JAWS instalation being dependent on software speech, then of course you are up the proverbial creek without a paddal. One case maybe where a hardware synth scores over the cheaper software option.

I guess the trouble is though that if the soundcard/volume settings are mucked up then Narator won't be heard either. Unless narator does a check on loading.
