Hi Robbie,
Jaws gets its information in mysterious ways, including intercepting stuff sent
to the graphics driver. My understanding is that this video intercept stuff is
different between windows 7 and 8, so the windows version could be the cause.
Could you give me an example of a common edit box in windows 8 where your
braille display does show the correct value of an edit field. I can then have a
quick look to see if there's any difference in the accessibility information
available to jaws in the two cases. However, I don't hold out much hope, given
that the insides of Jaws are a mystery.
David.

Hi David!
Thanks very much. In Audacity 2.0.4 my Braille display is also not showing
edit field values. I had a friend of mine check on his machine and in his case
the Braille display is displaying correctly. He is using Audacity 2.0.6 with
JAWS 15, only he is running Windows 7. I can't imagine the Windows version
being the cause but it is the only differents that occurs to me regarding our
two systems. I would appreciate any further ideas.
Cheers! Robbie

Hi Robbie,
you can download a zipped version of audacity 2.0.4 here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/files/audacity/2.0.4/audacity-win-2.0.4.zip/downloadYou
don't need to install it, just uncompress the zip file, and run the
audacity.exe contained in it.
Does the Braille display work on this version?
David.

Hi!
I'm using Audacity 2.0.6 on Windows 8.1 with JAWS 15. The values in edit
fields such as Gain, Pan and effects parameters do not show on my Braille
display. It does display the edit field, for instance "Gain ef", with the
cursor blinking behind "ef" as it should, but the value is not displayed.
Refocusing the field does not help. I tried different Braille modes without
success.
I should add that this did work before. To check if it is a JAWS problem I
tried JAWS 14 but came up with the same result.
I think that it is a problem with the latest version of Audacity. To make sure
I tried installing Audacity 2.0.4 which I still had, but it installed 2.0.6
anyway. It shouldn't really. The user ought to be able to decide for himself.
Anyway, I was unable to find earlier versions online except really old ones. I
would be grateful if this could be looked into. Perhaps other users are
experiencing the same?
Cheers! Robbie
