I have noticed that the JAWS functions for System and the JAWS voice
volume on Windows 7 do not work independently as expected. Freedom
Scientific has been aware of this since the Windows 7 bvta.
In the past, I have attempted to call the nircmd commands from a JAWS
Script to properly lower / raise the system volume and also scripts
which create hotkeys to lower / raise the volume of the current
application, such as Internet Explorer. While this should not be that
hard, I had difficulty programmatically getting the text string for the
application which is used in the Volume Mixer and used as an argument in
the nircnd command.
