Did you unplug something? Sounds stupid but that's the first thing to check. What operating system do you have? There's a box under the sounds properties of the control pannel which says use only prefered devices check that. Make sure the volume on your sound isn't muted. These are simple things which you've probably done but there good to check. If they're all working scann for viruses sinse this happened while reading an email, maybe something came from an email. After removing viruses, if there is no sound from any application then try re-installing your sound drivers. I'm assuming you have an external synth to use go with that then fix the soundcard when time permits. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen J" <kkj10@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 5:26 PM Subject: JAWS quit working with sound card.. > Hi, > A couple of days ago, my JAWS speech suddnely gave out on me, in the middle of reading an email. Since then, I have not been able to use the JAWS program, or any other sound-related programs on my computer. I'm running a Sound Blaster Audigy II, and was hoping that someone might have any ideas how I might fix this problem... I've got the end of the semester approaching, and this is not the time for this to be happening. > Thanks, > Karen > Don't judge me because I'm blind.
