Mike-
I just had a similar problem.  Somehow a checked item in the control panel got 
changed.  If you have sighted help, try going to the control panel in the 
windows start menu.  Arrow down to the "sounds and audio devices" submenu and 
press enter.  Use control+tab  to get to the "audio" menu page and /or the 
"voices" menu page. In the audio menu, the first tab item is "sound playback 
default device" or in the voices menu "voice playback default device".  Arrow 
down under each of these items and make sure your installed audio driver is 
still selected.  In my case, this is the first item on the list, but somehow , 
the second listing,  the "modem #1 line device"had become selected.  Changing 
that selection resolved the problem for me.  The problem was apparently 
triggered after an automatic update or installation of Skype--we are uncertain 
which was the trigger.

  Mike,

  I had that happen to me and I had to get a sighted person to go in to the 
windows volume controls and uncheck a muted check box.

  The computer sounds are there, but jaws is not.  It comes up fine, on the 
screen.  That is, sighted people can see it, but I just can't hear it.  As
for running jaws first, i have that disabled, so it won't come up when my 
daughter starts it up.

    Do you have any sounds coming out of the speakers?

    Maybe the volume has been muted.

    Hi folks.  I've encountered a very weird problem with jaws.  I'be been 
using jaws version 8.0 on my daughter's computer, but for some reason, now,
when it comes up, no speech at all.  I've looked at the settings, and as far as 
I can tell, it seems to be right.  I've tried reinstalling 8.0, but it
won't let me do that, giving me a message asking for my authorization disk.  
The authorization is up to date on there.  Anyone ever had such a problem
as this?
