Re: Skype and JAWS

Hi Marla,

Check and possibly change the default sound card selected in the Sounds and 
Audio Devices section of the Control Panel.  In Tools > Options in Skype, make 
sure Skype is not allowed to change your audio settings.

  Subject: Skype and JAWS


  A sighted family member installed Skype on our computer.  Now, JAWS  starts 
up properly when the computer powers up or when fully rebooted, but if JAWS is 
turned off while the computer is running, everything freezes when we try to 
restart JAWS , and the computer must be rebooted  to get JAWS back.  
Insert+windows key+F4 does not help.  We have also noticed that other computer 
sound effects, not related to JAWS, are also now inactivated.  Has anyone else 
experienced this?  It is possible that the problem is not related to Skype, but 
the timing of onset seems to coincide with the Skype installation.
