that's how many sliders work, not just ibn Audacity but elsewhere. The slider is moving each time you press the arrow key but, for some reason, screen-readers, not just NVDA, don't announce the change. Evidently, fractions of whole number changes don't produce screen-reader accessible output. My guess is that you are moving visually but no fractions or decimal numbers are whown. It's visual, you probably see something like an arrow or something perhaps that looks like a cursor move.
You can type numbers if you wish, where available or you can move much more easily by simply holding an arrow key down for a period of time. Try experimenting. Hold an arrow key for two or three seconds and see how far you have moved. Once you get a feel for how fast you move, you can estimate how long to hold the arrow key before checking to see where you are.

Hi there.I have the same problem, but there are usually edit fields in which you can more easyly change values. You just type the value and preview as many times you need to adjust a given slider.Hope that works.

I've often noticed that in NVDA, when I encounter a slider in audacity, I often have to click the arrow keys several times just to move up by one value. An example is in the percent change slider in the change pitch or change speed dialog. The default is 49. So I use the right arrow to move forward. The first time I do that, NVDA says nothing. The second time, it says 50 as it should. In some other settings, you have to press the right arrow even more times to move forward. What is the reason for this? Thaanks.
