Andrew - Give this a try, not sure it's the answer, but won't do any harm. Go to the JAWS Window [your wife could do this using headphones] hit alt for the menus, arrow right to 'utilities,' arrow down to 'sound cards' and make sure 'Windows default' is checked. This I think will bring sound back to your PC speakers -

Subject: [access-uk] Problem with JAWS as well as all SAPI synthesisers



Hi,

Sorry for the cross posting but I desperately need some help!

My partner has a PC running Windows Vista 32 bit and uses JAWS 14 as her
screenreader. Last night she tried a pair of headphones to see whether she liked the sound of them. Unfortunately, since unplugging these, it has not been possible to get JAWS back in her speakers at all! If we plug a pair of 
headphones back in, however, JAWS works fine but not through the speakers.
All other system sounds are fine, including the Qube and Winamp playback.
However it doesn't matter what screenreader we run whether it is JAWS,
System Access to Go, or NVDA, we can't get any speech from any screenreader to come through her speakers. Please can someone advise me what the problem 
might be and how I can fix this?


Many thanks,

Andrew
