Dave and DJX,

Those tips sounded promising, thought for sure they'd fix it... bummer, it's 
still doing it.

One thing I noticed, when I minimized Sonar to get to the task bar, JAWS did 
stop anouncing the numbers/% thing, but as soon as I switched back to Sonar, 
JAWS  started doing it again.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

  Alternatively, just go to sonar options and uncheck the display midi activity 
on windows taskbar box. Just encase you have icons that aren't frequently used 
but that you'd like to have on the tray still.

  HTH, D!J!X!

  Steve,

  Since it seems like it's only announcing during MIDI activity, I wonder if 
it's reading the MIDI activity icon in the system tray.

  Can you try to use the customize feature in the Task Bar?

  Best to do this while you have a MIDI project open and perhaps even running.
  minimize Sonar.
  Highlight the start button
  Alt+Enter to open Task Bar properties
  Tab until you hear hide inactive icons and check this.
  Then tab to the customize button and press it.
  Then in the list you can arrow up/down the various icons and if you find the 
one showing MIDI activity, right arrow to open the status list.
  Then arrow down until you have always hide as the choice.
  then arrow left again to keep this status.
  Then find OK and enter, and Ok after that to save.

  See if that does it.

  Dave

    Hello John, Darrin, DJX,

    Using JFW10, I tried turning off the speeking of progress bars, moved the 
mouse around, and made sure only highlighted text is being spoken,but am still 
getting the problem.

    In the project I'm currently working on, it's all audio tracks until bar 
19. A few bars after the MIDI kicks in, JAWS still says, 16%, 14%, 9% etc...

    I have no idea why JAWS is now doing this... it must of not liked the move 
LOL.

    Thanks for the suggestions, any other thoughts?

    Steve

      Steve, you can turn off the speaking of progress bars in the Jaws 
verbosity menu.
                          John.

        Hello,

        I recently moved my home studio from it's summer location to it's 
winter location, and after plugging everything in and fireing things back up, I 
noticed a new strange new behaivier with JAWS in Sonar 8/producer.

        After opening up a project, and hitting space to play it, JAWS will 
start announcing things like, 9%, 15%, 13%, 16% etc...

        From what I can tell, it seems to be linked to projects that have MIDI. 
I rechecked all the connections and all is fine, so am not real sure why this 
is all of the sudden happening.

        Any thoughts?

        Thanks,

        Steve
