Simon,
It's my guess that you need to agree to use Media Player for reading capchas.
This happened to me. When you make certain changes to your system, you may have
to again accept Media Player as your default player for these things.
Screenreaders will not automatically tell you this. However, if you go into
screen navigation mode (known as JAWS mode in JAWS) and come down from the top
of the screen you should find a line asking you if you agree to use Media
Player for playing captchas. go to where it says something like "click here" or
something similar and left mouse click with your num pad and see what happens
next time you try to listen to a capcha.
This is possible with JAWS but not if you are using NVDA. I don't know if you
can achieve this with WE but imagine that you should be able to.
John.

Could you send the list an example or two of the sites/pages you are
having difficulty with? what screen reader(s) are you using?

yes, other things, such as tv/radio programs/streams, and youtube
videos seem fine, it just seems to be audio captchas that won't play, but a
very annoying issue for a totally blind person relying on them.

I may be very mistaken but I am pretty certain you do not need
Quicktime to play audio captures.
I have never installed Quicktime on this and other machines and they
have played fine.
Are you getting any sound at all from media content on your web pages?

hello all,
have recently had a machine upgraded from XP to windows 7 ultimate
64bit, but am having a problem with audio captchas. they just won't play, and I
can't seem to find what the problem is. apart from running IE 11 instead of IE
8, I have tried to use more or less the same software, I am reasonably sure
that when it was running XP, it used to use quicktime for most audio captchas,
and they played with no problems. so I put quicktime on this machine, but they
won't play. I have gone through all of the settings I can find, in both IE and
quicktime, and can't find anything that would prevent them from playing. any
suggestions as to how I can sort this issue out please?
Simon
